Our project is essentially becoming a part of Cork city’s fabric. Bricks will be woven into the streets of Cork. Bricks will resemble or be branded by the Midsummer Fest logo, white and yellow dots with red text colour.
Two options:
- Follow the music/food/events trail of the festival around cork?
- Or should the trail take on the four walking trails already in existence in Cork?
Link to self-guided walking maps: http://www.discoverireland.ie/Places-To-Go/Cork/Features/Self-Guided-Cork-Walks
Will each trail take on a colour scheme to reflect the mood of the trail? e.g. red for romance, blue for serenity or flow of the river, yellow for joy/happiness/laughter, green for nature/growth/harmony.
Alternatively, one trail following the festival can be lit in the theme colours or broken into separate divisions where each division is represented by the corresponding mood colour.
Bricks light up to highlight the trail in the festival colours. Or hints to the next brick.
App to send stories to a brick & follow the trail.
Old telephone booths set up on the streets to allow the public to record their own stories and send them to bricks.
Human interaction on the street? How is it immersive?
Telephone Handset, branded by the festival, handed out to plug into bricks and listen. Also, ‘shoe lace’ and ‘zip’ earphones.
They can also be a sort of souvenir for the user to take with them.
