Brainstorm Platform 2: Walls have Ears
The latest platform of "Brainstorm" has just been installed in the new Gainsborough Library. There are another two figures in white coats but this time their business is sound and music.




The lady is captured mid performance, having an Elvis moment, collar up, her microphone pulled in close.

The man, perhaps a little shocked to see his colleague letting her hair down, reaches out with his Heath Robinson ear trumpet machine to record the moment for posterity. Like our TV and radio presenters he has to multi-task, simultaneously listening to messages from the brain and recording the music he hears.

As you might expect from "Brainstorm" walls really do have ears. One huge ear attached to the wall which makes a link through to the library's recording studio behind. Be careful what you say the walls are listening...
