Our team is very proud of how this project turned out. Not only did it look exactly the way we had imagined it to be, but it also arose the interest of passerby. We noticed that our installation was used by different people and for long period of time.
Here is a video and three pictures taken the day of the installation.
This is just research and suggestion, but I think these would be a great soundtrack for the project.
Here are some shots that were taken today during our in class work session.
We started collecting materials for the project. In keeping with the romantic dinner feel we found candle holders and an ice bucket.
VELVET DINER
by Véronique Bélanger, Tristan Kurtz, Kim Sicotte & Jany Villeneuve
The location we choose to work with is located on the 5th floor of the EV building, next to the open lab. When we found it first, there was only a table and a chair in a very cold environment. We decided for the project to redesign the area and create a romantic diner atmosphere by placing props and decorating the place.
