The artists were asked to explore the Coroners’ Court in Bristol through:
Observing Abstracts (subjective):
- the emotion it seems to have, that it causes in you or potentially others
- its dynamic: fast, slow, flickering, lopsided, erratic, steady
- its atmosphere: calming, troubling, haunting

- past voices
- past sounds
- past events and uses / misuses
Observing Wormholes (imaginative leaps)
- fantastical connections to other places
- echoes of other genres
- leaps to other events
- echoes of people inspired by the site’s resonances
