My feeling (Paul S.) is that we might adopt slightly different strategies based upon how busy it is. We know from last year that it will be very busy at the opening, so video on a loop as apposed to a choice of media might be more appropriate at this time, wheras when it is quieter, the option to view a choice of media might make for more inclusive (dare I say, 'interactive') appreciation of the work.

Similarly, with the sound - to have only headphones might be a good idea for the opening, but during quieter times it might be better to have time slots for different exhibits to emit sound through speakers. (arranged so the sound from one exhibit does not interfere with the sound from another).

**Sound?**
I have just thought of one problem with the enclosed 'cinema' idea. If people go into an enclosed space to watch the looping pieces how is the sound going to be controlled? Initially the idea was to use headphones but this won't work if it is a cinema room with say ten people in there? One suggestion is to have the cinema room open sound and the individual spaces that require sound use headphones, but this does require the individual being happy with this situation. (Rachel W)

Yes I agree that sound is a big issue and if there is an enclosed cinema space is will probably leak sound. perhaps it will be possible to put non-sounding work in the same room as the cinema space? I don't think headphones in the cinema space will work. (phoebe)
