Overview

A large scale immersive, projection mapped diorama created for UK City of Culture 2017. The installation is a highly detailed 50ft wide and 16ft cardboard structure animated with projections of tiny people going about their daily lives within the vast Micropolis.

Goals

To create an attraction for City of Culture 2017.

Process

The process involved lots of back and forth discussions with the City of Culture team and involved lots of stages of research and development. The actors in the installation mostly consist of local volunteers many of whom also helped to assemble the piece. All aspects were conceived, designed and directed by Studio McGuire.
