On Saturday 15th June I attended Gala Wright’s tribute to her late father’s work, Brainstorms: A Great Gig In The Sky.
It is a multimedia experience that was curated by Gala Wright as Artistic Director of Brainstorms with the blessing of the remaining members of Pink Floyd. The opening event was attended by David Gilmour and his wife Polly Samson. Polly wrote on her Instagram, “Mesmerising Brainstorms @framelessldn. Thank you @gala_wright, such a lovely tribute to your dad and his Great Gig in the Sky.”
Tickets were either general admission where you could wander around the four galleries, or VIP which allowed your live brain scan to be fed, in near real time, to the “clouds” gallery before attending the galleries.
This article gives some background to the experience, plus has photos and my account. I do not know if it could go on tour in other countries given its specialist nature in terms of the digital gallery spaces needed. Therefore proceed at your own risk as there are spoilers below including a Great Gig in the Sky video from the Aurora room.
