The idea was to make children curious and inspired by artists that were exhibiting at the Tate Britain at the time. I decided to work with the Model Room, created by Antony Gormley. Children visited the Model Room, and got inspired by Antony Gormley’s artworks, which displayed human bodies constructed with shapes.
For children it was mind blowing to see how simple the constructions were. After that, they were given boxes of cardboard to mount their own city. We then, added LED’s and motors to make the city alive!
The end result was a beautiful city, with projection mapped animations that I brought for them. It really felt like the city became an organic entity that expanded and changed as the day passed.
Here are some pictures of the workshop in action:
