trickling through the limestone— to a mirror pool where perfectly clear waters reflect the flowstone formations above it. This attraction utilizes the natural beauty of Cox’ s Cave.
One of DJW’ s main criteria was to be as accommodating to the environment as possible. We aimed to reuse as many existing cables runs and fixings as we could, and we removed much of the previous equipment to make our installation as unobtrusive as possible. Projectors and audio equipment that needed to be inside the caves were all stored within environmental housings to ensure longevity and ease of maintenance.
Our media partner, Revenant, used 3D scanning technology to ensure the content mapped accurately to the uneven surfaces of the cave formations. We are all extremely proud of the overall outcome of the project.
Ultimately, in order to create experiences like Cox’ s Cave at Cheddar, seamless integration of technology and storytelling is vital.
“ Storytelling is where any project starts- or should start.”
While David admits not all stories lend themselves to this treatment, clients with vision should be connected to a good creative director or storyteller, in order to get the most from the experience, which then allows future generations to experience history in new ways.
