Guided by a friendly northern estate agent from the &#8216;Celestial Syndicate,&#8217; you&#8217;ll explore a lively neighbourhood, complete with coffee and milk bars, fantastic nightlife, and out-of-this-world fashion. Set in a quaint 50s living room, don a headset to be transported to Lunar-shire, while onlookers watch your adventure on a vintage TV. This project blends space race enthusiasm, radiophonic sounds, and retro northern sensibilities to create a unique artistic experience. &#8216;Welcome to Lunar-shire&#8217; offers a whimsical take on alternative futurism, blending nostalgia with visionary imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artists: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youremostwelcome.co.uk\">Tom Diffenthal &amp; Lauren Paige-Dowling<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-189a6e74 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/8895-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"three women sat in the installation listening to recordings.\" class=\"wp-image-488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/8895-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/8895-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/8895-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/8895-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/8895-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Three women listening to Voices in the hood 2.

Visually we see people sitting under what look like vintage salon hair dryers. These very recognisable furniture items are normally associated with hair salons but taken out of context and repurposed to listen to extracts from the jukebox archive. A step back in time complete with appropriate floor covering and set dressing items adaptable to different locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The audio is played from digital sources through speakers embedded in at least two \u2019dryers.\u2019 Controlled with buttons on the arm rest, whilst sitting the listener can flick though a magazine that has text and images associated with the jukebox project, providing background, context and credits for the audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The act of sitting on a comfortable chair, reading and being absorbed in a sound world allows people a space to travel back in time whilst watching the world go by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danfox.net\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.danfox.net\">Artist: Dan Fox \u2013 Sound Intervention<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-content-justification-right is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-335fd4fa wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-90edb088 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-189a6e74 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium is-resized is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/ghost-logo-4-300x300.png\" alt=\"Drawing of a ghost with a record\" class=\"wp-image-485\" style=\"width:466px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/ghost-logo-4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/ghost-logo-4-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/ghost-logo-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/ghost-logo-4-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/ghost-logo-4-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/jukebox\/files\/2024\/11\/ghost-logo-4-2048x2048.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ghost representing the art work Broken Records \u2013 The Phantom\u2019s Playlist by Matt Tully.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"BrokenRecords\"><strong>Broken Records \u2013 The Phantom\u2019s Playlist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A darkly funny, \u2018choose your own adventure\u2019 style game where you must help a spectre trapped within a jukebox uncover the truth about his demise in hopes of setting him free.
