Story of Light Festival 2015

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

“A Clockwork Blues” is an experimental storytelling project which cultivates light to bring life to a paper theatre book.

As we enter, the room is dark. The book opens by itself, revealing the first tableau of pop-ups gears, made from layered paper cut-outs. Then, the light runs on the paper, textures the shapes, fixes the décor. Tiny characters enter the scene, explore the gears. Now bright enough, the glowing sculpture blinks along the music, runs on the walls into organic spirals, bounces across space to caress the shadows of the audience…

This is the time to gather, to explore through the evening and the night, how to light a story… a Story of Light. In this workshop, we offer a participative experience across the fields of science, art, design and technology; with the purpose to create, share, and hybridise stories made of and about Light. The art process is illustrated with demonstrations and performances. It is open to all (ages 12+). Three activities run together during the workshop:

– Preparation of a 3D sculpture with Paper Art (Exploring Origami and Kirigami – working towards the Pop-Up Book).

– Projection Mapping on the 3D sculptures and VJing (how to create, apply and control a light design in real-time on a volume).

– Video Feedback (how to create an interactive light installation with video, and to perform with the light entity generated).

The result is a multi-modal art installation; which is intuitive, accessible, and reactive to its participants and environment.The Clockwork Blues Project regroups these different components and introduces the workshop as an open narrative system.

An appetising invitation from Locus Pocus Deco, brought our Collective to a festival that was colourful, sunshiny and orchestrated by a great production team. 

Joined by VJ Zero, VJs Viktor Furiani and Samvida Nanda drove across the green landscapes of France, Luxembourg, Belgium and Netherlands to reach the long summer days and intense nights of Amsterdam!

We landed in the sprawling grounds of the Wooferland Festival 2015, to discover under vast circus tents the beautiful wooden stage design by Locus Pocus Deco. Welcomed promptly by the team of the the Wooferland Festival, we could happily start the work with the techniciansfrom React Event. Next came a day and night of mapping and content creation, and the Energy Stage was up to welcome the legion of dancing techno giants that showed up sharply at... noon! Middle of the afternoon, we were a civilised horde of 7000, festively enjoying the last days of the nordic summer across sound, vision and dance.

Meanwhile, at the VJ console, we created a chain of computers to generate, finalise and polish some more visual delicacies under soft smoothwares such as Processing and Touch Designer. Video performance was served through the layercake of Resolume and Mapio.

We would like to mention our eternal gratitude for the warmth and hospitality of our elegant host Elena! With an extra special thanks to Ziggy and the crew of Locus Pocus Deco, as well to Rui and Marcia!

And we are happy to share with you the result in video. Soundtrack from Rohan1000 [PME - Paris]. Shooting and editing by Samvida & Viktor.
