During this opening, we will not dress people up, not lift anyone in the swings and worms, will have the media systems functioning minimally (no state changes), so that the people can get a little taste of what the experience could be and hopefully come back during the week. We will serve them food and drinks in the 'txOom' style - so it's more of a 'coctail party' than a running txOom environment. ==== people present in Great Yarmouth ==== * Nicholas Gaffney, Evelina Kusaite, Cocky Eek, Maja Kuzmanovic: 10 nov - 10 dec * Mathias Gmachl: 11 nov - 10 dec * Martin Schlingmann: 10 nov - 10 dec * Yon Visell: 24 nov - 02 dec * Todor Todoroff: 13 nov - 18 nov * Nat Muller: 15 nov - 24 nov / 30 nov - 10 dec * Sia Kyriakakos: 26 nov - 09 dec * Steven Pickles: 12 nov - 28 nov * Rachel Wingfield: 12 nov - 18 nov / 24 nov - 10 dec * David Ullmann: 12 nov - 18 nov * Tim Boykett: 4/5 dec - 10 dec * Dejan Stampar: ? * Sha Xin Wei: 27 nov - 01 dec / 05 dec - 08 dec
