Gap Filler Project 15: Dance-O-Mat

"Dance-O-Mat" is a dance floor created by Gap Filler on a vacant site in the central city. It has coin-operated lighting and sound courtesy of a converted washing machine. Anybody can come to the site, plug in their mp3 player with their own music and get dancing. Dance-O-Mat was created in response to the loss of dance studios and performance spaces in Christchurch after the earthquakes. The aim of the project was to give the Christchurch community a unique dance experience and to bring life back into the broken city.
