The interior of ARoS.

This is one of their most famous pieces,
The Horse Sacrifice by Bjorn Norgaard. It was pretty grotesque, it was an event piece where they sacrificed a horse as protest against the Vietnam War.

Here is the piece that now is the symbol for ARoS. Its called Boy and is by the Australian artist Ron Mueck. He is in the traditional hunting crouch of Aborigines. It was so cool, because it was super-realistic, but huge!

This was the start of their temporary exhibit, Enter Active. You had to physically interact with each piece to make things happen. This room had fans so all of these blow-up punching bags were spinning and floating around, but if no one got in the way and interacted with them they would eventually all settle along the wall not moving.

This was a piece where the glass of the glasses would show whatever the glasses would be looking at.

This is a room where only two people would be allowed to enter at a time. One of the robotic wheelchairs was shy and one was extroverted, and they would move around and print you out messages. The emo robot I guess had a crush on me, because the message it printed out said I would die with you tonight. We had a very fast and intense relationship.

Here I'm running on a giant treadmill, where you controlled the picture. The faster you ran the better the resolution, and it changed how fast you were going. Also, the picture would eventually split, and you could choose which way you wanted to run. The only problem I had was figuring out how to gradually slow down to stop, while the treadmill continued at a full sprint.

This is the little canal running through Arhus. We ate most of our meals in this area and the little bar where we listened to music was right around the corner.

I ate a Holly bar at the rest stop in honor of Holly! It was pretty good, similar to a milky way with some almonds in it.
