Gouda in the world




Plans for our next intervention in Gouda

An intimate and intense immersive experience: A mini mobile studio/party on wheels: It is a 15/30 minutes trip in a caravan through the neighborhoods of Gouda. The caravan is indeed a mobile studio in which the public (a small group of friends or people that is around) will be invited to come to have a drink in a short party trip around the city. Each section can have different form of interactions: through music, dance, act or interview. The green screen will be displaying the images of different places and monuments of the world, with weird objects and landmarks from gouda.

CamERAMICS

The performance CamEramics, in collaboration with the GoudA Museum, played with the idea of the evaluation of ceramics antique objects that people brought to the museum on that day to be evaluated. Having as personages, a mix of aliens/astronauts/researchers/scientists/clown/ anthropologists, the performers, with their measurement instruments, walked around the museum's courtyard and the market square, approaching the public to measure the emotions of their beloved objects. For that, Mark and Vincent developed a software that associated colors to pre-made sound samples, so that, on the performance, when the object was video recorded, the sound of its colors were emitted through the small speakers. Meanwhile, the images and sounds were displayed in the gateway of the museum.
