Yesterday we gathered our first stage of Research for the first of a series collaborative projects.

This first one with BeyondPAR entitled ‘Togetherness’ is essentially to get together, lock heads, share ideas and see what happens.

After a couple of meetings we’ve decided to look more into Kaleidoscopes and the abstract shapes and patterns they create.

We asked people to select any number of coloured shapes they feel drawn to, associate a feel with, an emotional attachment or that may represent them in one way or another.

We hope to take each individual case and then ‘splice’ them and experiment by taking different people and mix them together.

With our homemade Kaleidoscope we’ll then begin to record the outcome… and eventually create digital and mixed-media visuals from what we find.

You can follow our progress on the tumblr and twitter.
