The installation proposal 
MUSICAL CHAIRS
Sitting on a chair is an experience we all have,our world is full of different kinds of chairs and seats, but what does the chair mean to the human and our everyday lives? How does it fit in t our environment, what does it give us?This instalation will explore the feelings, emotions and memories we get from different kinds of chairsin there spesific landscapes and enviroments.
I have made up a drawing of how the installation would be set up. There will be four rooms and the public would be invited to walk around them. Room 1 has a deck chair  room 2 a dentists chair, room 3 babies high chair, and room 4 two cinima seats. Once entering the room the auidence will be expected to take a seat,(with exception of the high chair). There will be a sound trigger under the chairs(infront of the entrance room 3), that once pressure is applied sound will play and writting will appear.  This sound and lighting will describe the chairs scenary to the publics senses and will provoke some sort of emotional response. For example in room 1 there is a deck chair which when sat on a high volume of lighting will appear and sounds of the sea seagals and laughter,which will relate to the sense of enjoyment and trigger happy memories from a holiday scene. Room 2 is a dentist chair and when triggered the sound of drill and screams will be heard as well as an overhead light,this gives the sense of fear and pain. Room 3 being triggered upon entrance babies laughter and soft lighting giving the sense of joy and delight, and room 4 a spotlight and clapping suggestion the sense of amusement.
Above is an example of how the installation would be laid out and how it would work.
