Everybody Remember Where We Parked

2006_3_29activate.jpg
Because this map makes it look like OCAD is being turned into a theme park. Well, that’s probably only half-true. Tommorow, first year interaction students at the art school are turning the area underneath Will Alsop’s tabletop into a giant showcase of their work which includes things like:
• Interactive graffiti walls
• communal music making
• radio-controlled homage to Pimp My Ride
• human statues
• a food fight
• a peepshow in the park
• a piñata in the park
• paint hockey
• giant movable cubes
• a Toronto memory map
• a race with a “randomizer”
• giant toys
Tommorow 3:00-6:00 at OCAD. This sounds like way too much fun but we’re sad that this’ll only be going for three hours. The group blog for the Principles of Interaction design class at OCAD also has some interesting observations on parks in Toronto and elsewhere.

    “a food fight” – People in Darfur will be pleased!
    “a peepshow in the park” – They’re moving to Moss Park at 3am?

    “The walls spray back?”
    Tee hee.

    I admit to have been pessimistic at first, but some of the stuff has turned out to be quite good. Be sure to check out the Big Bang section. We’ll probably be the loudest (not in a drum circle way, but instruments made out of garbage.) :D
