CONSEQUENCE — Science Creates, Labs of the Future, Bristol (May–June 2026)
Concept
Consequence is an evolving interactive artwork shaped by collective participation. Each contribution becomes a signal that influences the system’s future state, leaving a persistent trace of how individual decisions accumulate into shared outcomes.
- Brief
- Live event activation around “What should science preserve?” with contributions during the event and a lasting record afterwards.
- Approach
- Participation as part of the artwork; every response leaves a visible trace in an evolving visual outcome.
- Delivery
- Interaction concept and motion-designed visual behaviours; WhatsApp-based live contribution; system mapping each response to one of four behaviours; build and test in the event environment; archive replay.
- Result
- Live interactive artwork with real-time contributions and replayable collective outcome.
