Automatic Display was a part of the exhibition ‘Perron Ceremoni’ (eng: Perron Ceremony). In the course of 3 weeks, the former waiting halls of Copenhagen Central Station temporarily reappeared in a utopian version; “dioramas, scenography, soundscapes, and an extensive event program explored the many cultures and aesthetics of public transportation”. (Lauge Floris & Anna Lindblad, main curators)”
‘Perron Ceremoni’ was:
- mentioned as a part of the programme for CAFx - Copenhagen Architecture Festival
