3x4 at the Alchemy Festival 2015 Spanning five time zones the installation will be connected 6 hours a day from: 11.00am to 5.00pm in London and 3.30pm to 9.30pm in Delhi, combining two cities not just spatially but temporally, from the start of one person’s day to the end of another’s. The networked convergence of these two physical 3x4 metre structures and their urban locations will allow these diverse public audiences the opportunity to explore networked spaces as new mixed-reality hybrid environments. It will make it possible to experience, not only the presence of geographically distant participants, but also a sense of coexistence with them. |
Co-Creation Workshops during Alchemy Festival 2015 Co-creation workshops will be held at Southbank Centre London and Khoj Studios in New Delhi during the Alchemy Festival. |
3x4 at the UnBox Festival 2014 From 12 to 14 December 2014, visit the Southbank Centre London or Khoj Studios New Delhi to participate in 3x4, an exploration of metaspace platforms for future inclusive cities. 3x4 creates an immersive, telematic environment by merging two identical 3x4 metre room installations at the Southbank Centre, London and Khoj International Artists Association, Delhi to provide a playful, sensorial exploration of new hybrids of digital space. Audiences in London, Delhi and across the globe can co-create these mixed-reality scenes and explore the qualities and values built through self-organised communities that are lost in their eviction and resettlement. From informal settlement dwellings to contemporary compact interior designs, micro living solutions and imagined worlds, this transnational dialogue intends to set an aspiration for developing metaspace platforms in the global south. |
Co-Creation Workshop during UnBox Festival 2014 In advance of the live installation for the UnBox Festival, participants were invited to a co-creation workshop on 10 December 2014 at Khoj Studios, New Delhi. The workshop provided an introduction to the conceptual foundations of the project and the opportunity to develop creative content. The workshop was led by Professor Paul Sermon, Dr Claire McAndrew and Swati Janu.
