Working in collaboration with exhibition design studio, Event, NOVAK created The Long Room reimagined, a media rich immersive experience. This installation takes the form of a set build that mimicked the physical characteristics of this iconic Long Room, and was completely transformed via a complex array of projection and multi channel audio. Almost every surface of the structure is projection mapped, taking visitors on a fantastic journey from the library’s inception, into many of its most treasured books and artifacts and culminating in visions of its future.  

For the sonic component of this installation, NOVAK collaborated with long time associate, Ed Carter, who provided musical direction, arrangements, and production. The result was a beautiful and dramatic score featuring a themed collection of traditional compositions, many of which were sourced from the Trinity College Collection itself. The pieces were arranged to accompany a newly scripted narration, and performed by celebrated harpist Siobhán Armstrong on her exquisite replica of the iconic Trinity College harp.
