Tom introduction to our ideas:

Slide 1: VOID

Slide 2:

• Our initial ideas
• Creating a sensory experience in Manchester
• Organic growth
• Bringing people together through a collective experience
• Temporary and intangible design
• See the festival as a stimulus is actualised by the viewer
• Changing the city at night
• Our night walk exploring a space manipulating through glow sticks and bubbles

Slide 3:

• Leading on to the experiment (live feed?) with ink the which bridges gaps between different sensory stimule which is evolving our concept as well as developing the content of design festival.

Slide 4:

• This is our promo video, which is an example of how these experiments can be generated in to our content.
• Leading on to the manifesto
• From these organically concepts and experiments in informed our manifesto

Slide 5:

• Read out points of the manifesto

Slide 6:

 introduction to the festival

• Explain night festival idea
• We are VOID a night festival an additional layer to the day time.
• Promo: quote 'concealed within the light, revealed within the dark.'
• The intrigue and enigma are the selling point so we don't need to promo the content what we are promoting is empty space hence the name VOID .

Slide 7: 

• We have social media sites with updates of intriguing visuals bit no set program

• Social media hype

 Slide 8:

Location

• What where are why?

• Cathedral garden recently been regenerating (light fountains) still not particularly busy area. The regeneration through public experience rather than the tangible regeneration. The area in the tunnel and the car parks are space that we have mainly been looking at. However we have not been restrictive within our space so there is the potential of growth.

 Slide 9:

Hannah's Map:

• Highlighting the area we will be using but not pin pointing specific events

• Our map implanted into the day time festival map illuminating our space at night.

 Slide 10:

• Including having glow way markers to direct people to our space…' following the glow brick road'

 Slide 11:

Peep holes:

• Boxes dotted around the day festival with people looking in and getting a taste of what is to come

Slide 12:

Magic Eye/ Mirror

• Flyers that involve your interaction to find the message within

Slide 13:

Resin promo:

• To be handed out in the day festival to encourage people to be a part of it and create their own installation with in our festival.

Slide 14:

• Wristband - when people reach the Victoria bridge, which is the entrance to the festival they will collect a wrist band which will have some sort of device enabling them to interactive with the intangibles spaces throughout the festival and manipulate the visual experience.

 Slide 15:

• The visuals reacting to the public’s movement and even more so when interacting one another which encouraging audience participation throughout out the festival.

Slide 16:

Clapping

• Further to the interactive floor we have considered other sensory experiences such as sound.. Play clip

• this would be a blank black wall which went the public claps the wall pixelates, the more participation the more the wall pixelates

Slide 17:

smell/light/dark/sound:

• We will have other space that will disorientate the sense for example disassociation of smell. A really really light room contrasting with a really really dark room. Even possible incorporating sound and lasers which will create a visuals and divide them (lazer) all of this links back to our original concept.

 Slide 18:

River and Victorian arches

 • River that runs at the beginning of our site it is something we want to regenerate. The arches will be replaced with glass so people can look out on to the river but also look down from the bridge to see the glowing flowing lights on the river which will change the aesthetics to the grimy river.

Slide 19:

Practical spaces

 • Exploring interaction within areas that are crucial to the workings of the festival ie information points, bar areas, covered spaces maybe even the toilet. Reaction to people moving past

 Slide 20:

Pods and pouches

 • Isolated pods dotted around different areas of the festival for people to be at one with themselves and chill out/ reflect on what they have experienced. Also the glow in the dark panels creating spaces

 Slide 21:

• Small-scale experience through sensory touch to neutralise your senses e.g coffee in perfume shops

Theory side behind our ideas - Tom

 

This all has to be 30 mins

 

Lighting: spotlight on, when people are talking but off for clips such as; live feed experiment, promo video and clapping
