LIMITS ARE ALSO A TRIGGER FOR CREATIVE INNOVATION.

A CITY EATING ITSELF (IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES)

At the end of the experience the participant is invited to write a postcard to Chomp HQ. These messages are used as part of the research for the upcoming publication.

ALSO CREATIVE INNOVATION.

HOW HAS THAT FED INTO YOUR WORK?

It was a really interesting period, actually. It was limiting, of course, but limits are also a trigger for creative innovation.

The first thing I found really fascinating was how people connected more through the screen. That inspired me to create new work that could help people make more interesting and intimate connections through the screen, because that was our ‘new reality’. Then, when we were suffering from ‘screen fatigue’, that was a trigger for us to make a work that does not include the screen. Something more audio based, but still online, and you can still do it from your home. This project was called ‘The Gossip’ and used an old-fashioned telephone line for people to connect and share stories.

The Gossip was one of the projects that started our research into ‘hybrid spaces’. When some locations could open up again it was with limited audiences, and a new reality. People were not traveling as much anymore due to the pandemic, or because they are worried of climate change. But also, they had become used to attending events online, or they couldn’t face the costs of attending physically.
