Communication Certified

Laila Hansen, a final year Visual Arts BA(Hons) student performed 'Communication Certified' with her artist collective Partial Facsimile in surround-sound at Downs Junior School's air raid shelter in Brighton in May 2014.

A live sound and visual arts performance improvised to film sourced from the Screen Archive South East, was recorded in the shelter and the resulting work  used to create a unique sonic installation 'Communication Certified' to be run in May 2014.

Laila, who graduated in 2014, is particularly interested in unveiling and creating sounds in historical buildings. SASE is keen to support her attempts to interweave local archive film into this sonic/visual installation and has given her access to our colour film of children evacuating to a shelter Air Raid Practice at Knoll School in Hove  and the joyful portrait of Brighton celebrating the end of WW2 VE Day Celebrations in Brighton, May 1945.
