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.

Mosquito Massala's Viktor Furiani had the pleasure to Teach a Workshop for Ecole Intuit Lab in Mumbai, in 2014.
