In the Mix is a playful collaborative installation by Darius Powell where visitors can explore a 360 degree space and use glowing spheres to trigger colour, pattern and sound.
Set in our installation space at LEVEL, In the Mix is a colourful, playful and absorbing installation suitable for everyone.
Pick up a glowing sphere and move around the space to trigger different colour, pattern and images on the walls. Listen to how the soundscape changes depending on how you move the spheres. What happens when you move with other people in the space?
In the Mix is showing at LEVEL until 22 April 2022, so come along and have a bit of fun!
Brilliant ideas, well thought out playful and calm. In a world that has been a very difficult place to be, this is most welcome. I truly hope people make the effort to come here, they’ll leave happier.

‘S’ rarely connects with anything, yet today’s activity engaged with him.
Lovely installation, very interactive, very reaxing and balancing. Dream-like, I didn’t want to leave!
