Graduation is over - Dismantling the Marquee


The graduation week is over, the students, staff, and guests have left the white Marquee, and the dismantling crews are already emptying the inside installations. The first 4 days the weather has been reasonable, with sunny spells. But today on Friday there was wind and rain.

Time-lapse capture has been done during the week, with the goal to create videos of the activities. Now, the camera has turned again to focus solely on the Acre which will appear once the Marquee has been dismantled. The camera capture rate has been set slower now, to one picture every 5 minutes, and image series will be stored to create a time-lapse video of the Marquee dismantle process and the re-claiming of the Acre.

Next year, according to informal sources, there will be no Marquee here on the Acre, so this is now the last time for a while that this sight is here.

The rain is pounding down on the empty campus, as the students with their guests have left and staff is mostly going on holiday for the next few weeks.

An academic year is over.
