‘It was fun […] you watch it and you see and recognise places. I spent - y’know I think it was a good 15 minutes – pushing the trolleys up and down. So I really enjoyed that. It was great. I would have quite liked it if you could kind of re-wind by going backwards. Or also this thing that as you’re pushing sometimes you’re going with the movement […] and then you’re going against the movement. The sound is really great. As you’re doing it you get this real tramway kind of sound.’

Even though the footage that has been filmed is recent […] I think it’s still very nostalgic […] with the riverside and so on reminding you of the falling apart and the history of Glasgow. And yet it’s quite advanced technology that’s being used. I quite like that contradiction because I think the one cancels the other out and so people forget that it’s actually quite complicated what’s happening and they’re just completely preoccupied with what they’re seeing and I guess reflecting back on the city around them.’

‘That tentative testing of new and unexpected liberties/opportunities definitely stood out amidst people's various reactions. It was [...] true of the projector-trolleys in the sense that people would enter the room guided by the familiar “do not touch” authority assumed to govern such spaces, and so at first would very delicately experiment with moving the trolleys. Often, though, it took surprisingly little time for the influence of this imagined authority to be shaken off and forgotten completely; many visitors were soon immersed in the project of pushing, pulling, stopping, starting, tracing familiar routes and/or spotting landmarks they knew along routes they didn't, typically with a degree of abandon and almost always with an energetic interest in the work which you felt they hadn't expected to feel or find when first entering “the gallery” space.’

‘Finally! Art we can TOUCH!!!’
(Comment in visitors’ book)

‘...I loved the way that people engaged the carts as well. The way in which different age groups played with them, trying to make the film speed up and slow down, “testing” the work of art to see how it worked. I loved the way that people standing in the path of the projection cast shadows on the wall or the film as it passed them. I had a very nice moment when some children with those shoes with impact triggered lights were running up to the wall with the films projected onto it and chasing the moving film. It was both very dynamic and beautiful in that messy way that city streets are. I loved the pace of the films, their very considered quality. The way the city was both projected and revealed. The sense of moving through a living thing and then that being projected into a space and that space and the projection being interacted with. I thought that people were genuinely re-oriented to this place they see all the time and that it made them ask questions about it.’

‘But it’s interesting – one of the things it really makes me think about is how broken the urban fabric of Glasgow is. That really comes through […] There’s these three main routes and then how often it breaks into a very fractured urban kind of landscape. I think it’s something about memory and city...’

‘One of the things about Glasgow […] is how much it’s structured around these arterial routes – so the historical development – the space around these tram routes - is still really important even though we’ve got motorways and cars. [...] the way many people feel about the city – it’s still dictated by these arterial routes. They really structure the city and they really structure peoples’ minds as well...’

‘When I was pushing the trolleys along the tracks and looking at pictures of the East End and Springburn, it really made me think about how Glasgow’s developed and about all that regeneration and stuff - how political that is. It’s great having something here that makes you think about Tramway and Glasgow.’
