German to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting | | German term or phrase: offener Erwartungsraum | This is from an article describing an exhibition on art and furniture design for a lifestyle magazine. The final room in the exhibition is "einen virtuellen Raum aus interaktiven Bildprojektionen und Klangwelten, dessen Farben, Lichter, Formen, Texturen, Bewegungsmuster und Töne [der Besucher] selbst verändern und gestalten kann."
It then goes on to say:
"Die Bandbreite der optischen Elemente wird vom ornamentalen Schwung des Jugendstils eröffnet und endet im * offenen Erwartungsraum * der Gegenwart."
I can't think of a good way to express "offener Erwartungsraum". Any ideas? |
