CAMBRIDGE, MA., November, 2002 -- TechnoFrolics' kinetic
artworks, interactive exhibits and custom
mobiles played an instrumental role at the dedication
ceremonies for the new Albert and Barrie Zesiger Sports and
Fitness Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and Simmons Hall Dormitory.
Situated within a large darkened tent located on MIT's Briggs
Athletic Field, a troupe of Dancing
Banners artwork performed for arriving visitors including
MIT President Charles M. Vest, donors Richard and Dorothy
Simmons, architects Steven Holl and Timothy Bade, and other
dignitaries. Spotlights cast upon the colored banners, created
a secondary dance of shadows throughout the inside of the
tent.
Multiple interactive Spin Browser video explorers with plasma
screens installed near the squash courts and within the weight
rooms enabled visitors to explore the new facility's athletic
activities and offerings. Content ranged from high-speed videos
of divers, to a point-of-view walkthrough tour of the new
facility.
