The finale of a year-long digital arts programme Platform, Under the Northern Sky will be a major exhibition bringing together 13 artists from across Cumbria and the North this Spring. 

The show will feature something for everyone and will take you on a journey through different spaces in Cooke’s Studios and 102 Abbey Rd. to encounter short films, photography, sound art, video projection, textiles, and large-scale interactive artworks.

Step inside a giant pinhole camera, take a strangely familiar personality test, view films exploring Cumbria archive footage, shape your own sound art piece at the randomisation station and step into ultraviolet light to encounter an underwater science experiment like you’ve never seen (or heard!) before…
