We’ve been busy of late, putting the finishes touches to a wildly ambitious self-initiated project. What does that mean? ‘Self-initiated’ in that it’s a project borne out of invention and curiosity – distinctly lacking in any discernable client brief.
So is this is a design project per se? Not really actually. Digital Sculptures, or ‘Contested Spaces’ as we’ve renamed it, is an investigation or experiment in motion graphics with a social backdrop. It that asks a simple question: How can we represent the history of a contested civic space digitally? Or, what might these flashpoints look like if realised virtually?
No better time that July to discuss tension arising from cicvic spaces in Belfast. On reflection, perhaps the question isn’t quite as simple as we initially thought. Nevertheless, Frank has created (almost there…) a series of five sculptures using a variety of digital technologies and composited them into filmed scenes around our home city of Belfast.
More to follow very soon with a dedicated website showcasing all 5 films and an exhibition hosted by our friends at PLACE. You can view a preview at the Digital Sculptures blog here.
