Centre Screen are delighted to announce we have been commissioned to produce an exciting new AV installation for Manchester's historic music venue Band on the Wall, working in collaboration with renowned artistic director and designer Malcolm Garrett MBE RDI.

Band on the Wall is currently being expanded, encompassing the footprint and façade of the adjacent Cocozza Wood building, one of the last remaining perimeter buildings of the now removed and re-developed Smithfield Market.

As part of the venue enhancements, a large scale multi-screen exterior display will be created that focuses on the heritage and culture of Manchester’s migrant communities. This new artistic installation will celebrate the story of the diverse heritage of music and culture in Manchester, how music transcends geography and social division to unite people in positivity and joy, and how in 2021 Manchester still looks to the future, while never forgetting the past which continues to shape it.

More updates to follow over the coming months.

It was a pleasure to attend the grand opening of the Sub Sea exhibition Norsk Oljemuseum last night in the beautiful Stavanger.

We worked closely with the fantastically knowledgeable museum team and the marvellous exhibition design team SixSides to create an immersive show, projected inside an oil well - with additional learning triggered in real-time by visitor movement around the space.

The eight-minute immersive show is supported by three mini-games, testing visitors knowledge of oil production via playful challenges. More "official" photos to follow in due course, here are some of our snapshots from the last night in the meantime...

Down in the Deep is now open! Centre Screen worked with SixSides, Norsk Oljemuseum and their network of experts to shape three touchscreen mini-games, designed to help visitors understand the complex world of subsea technology and bring it to life with authentic, hands-on challenges. The mini-games ask visitors to build a template on the seafloor, manage an active pipeline and use a drone to scan the subsea for hazards to build a new, safe and profitable pipeline.

“The mini-games engage our guests. The challenges are relevant to the exhibition's content and we are very happy with the Centre Screen team that have perceived our wants and needs, and made three different games that can give the players an understanding of the complexity in subsea technology.”
Anja W. Fremo, Head of Exhibition, Norwegian Petroleum Museum.

Centre Screen are delighted to announce the opening of an exciting new exhibition ‘Going Subsea’ at the Norsk Oljemuseum in Stavanger. Working with SixSides we developed a series of AV and interactive media to tell the story of oil in new and engaging ways.

The main feature is an immersive projected show ‘The Well’ which takes visitors on an exciting journey to the depths of subsea to discover the innovative technologies being used in oil and gas production.

The physical space utilises a 7 x 7 metre and a 5 x 5 metre cube as the foundations for the display area. Throughout the show additional layers of interpretation can be activated by visitors via motion sensors to provide supporting information and context to the installation.

Nero: the man behind the myth at the British Museum is now open!

Playing a key part of our multi-projector installation at the British Museum, was the Map of Rome. Working in conjunction with the large wall projection which provides a sense of drama and theatre, this map, projected onto texture setworks helps add context to the illustrations of the city. Accompanied by key captions, we see the fire spread day by day as it tears through the heart of the Roman Empire.
One of the biggest challenges we are all facing right now is how to develop creative ideas and solutions in a Covid world. Our desire is to create experiences that educate and inspire, and we strive to do this in the safest way possible. We worked closely with teams at the British Museum museum and Drinkall Dean to create a large scale, evocative and theatrical installation that worked in conjunction with visitor flow. Providing multiple layers of interpretation that can be viewed from a variety of angles and distances with consideration for accessibility and safety at the forefront of the creative process.
