  • Developing Interactive Public Art on Cardiff Bay Barrage
    Open Cultural Studies 2017; 1: 576–590 Research Article Alice Entwistle*, Inga Burrows, Fiona Carroll, Nathan Thomas, Mark Ware, Gareth Loudon Affect and Dialogue in Collaborative Cross- Disciplinary Research: Developing Interactive Public Art on Cardiff Bay Barrage https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2017-0055 Received August 22, 2017; accepted December 16, 2017 Abstract: Where Cartesian philosophy distinguishes the perceiving and perceptual mind from the body, phenomenology constitutes the experiential/experiencing body as the subject, giving rise to the affective potential of art. An immersive world of digital connections, smart cities and the Internet of Everything dramatises the centrality of relationship, the intertwining of Self and Other, in the lived environments of human experience. This article addresses the contextual, disciplinary and practical challenges encountered in developing an ambitious interactive public art project embedding SMART technology on the coastal fringes of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales (UK). It examines the processes and problems involved in delivering a stimulating aesthetic experience in and on a complex site, for a complex audience profile. It traces, in particular, the dependence of a multi-disciplinary project team on the theoretical and practical effects of affect in their ongoing effort to produce engaging, provocative, socially inclusive interactive public art, in and through human-centred design techniques. Keywords: interactive public art, site-specificity, affect, human-centred design, social disability, social inclusion Prelude If every thing has an aesthetic dimension, then so does every experience of every thing (Berleant 11, emphases original).

The wider study area (as defined by the extent of Figure 19.1) is home to a number of significant commercial ports, in particular Bristol (Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Dock), Cardiff, Newport and Barry, with circa 8 smaller ports including Bristol City Docks and Bridgwater. Collectively these ports are an important part of the regional and national economy; in 2013 they handled around 15.5 million tonnes of cargo. This represents approximately 4% of the UK total (DfT, 2014). 19.1.1.2 Commercial vessels enter the Severn Estuary from the south-west via the deep water approaches in the Bristol Channel. Those bound for Cardiff navigate to the northwest of Flat Holm whilst those transiting to Newport, Bristol or locations up- estuary of the Severn Bridge crossings take the deep water channel between Flat Holm and Steep Holm (Figure 19.2). Vessels bound for Newport usually transit north of Flat Holm and south of Monkstone, then transit towards the Newport Channel. Vessels bound for Bristol and Sharpness navigate through the Bristol Deep and King Road channels, with vessels continuing to Sharpness on the tidal River Severn (STP, 2010). 19.1.1.3 Port access is tidally restricted, with water levels at Bristol, Newport, Cardiff and Barry controlled by lock gates.

In this four- year study (2006–2009), we used Side-scan Sonar and underwater video to illustrate how a 200 ha urban, amenity lake at Cardiff Bay (Wales, UK) was invaded extensively by zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas) within 2–3 years of creation in 2001. Veliger surveys and artificial substrates were used to assess conditions affecting juvenile settlement. Within 5–8 years of lake formation, all hard substrates at 0.5–7 m held mussel densities of 250–6600 m-2 which, coupled with a crude estimate of habitat available, suggested a lake-wide population of at least 9–31 million adults. Veligers reached 8 (± 2 SE) to 14 (± 4) L-1 during May–September when water temperatures were >14 °C, but densities and juvenile settlement declined at high discharge when lake flushing rates increased: settled densities in a drier year (2007) exceeded those in a wet year (2008) by 120× implying more effective colonisation under low flows and longer residence times.
