Collusion: Playfinding Peterborough

APPLY NOW – take part in Collusion’s R&D Challenge – Playfinding Peterborough

Deadline for applications: 5pm, Thursday 02 November 2017

TO TAKE PART : Read the brief, the Q&A, and complete this simple application form.

• We’re looking for artists, designers, software developers and other creative industries professionals from the Lincoln Road Millfield and wider Peterborough area to take part in our R&D Challenge, Playfinding Peterborough,
• Taking part includes great professional development opportunities including learning new skills, building new networks, and gaining knowledge from people working in other creative fields.

Collusion is launching our first R&D challenge in Peterborough. We are looking for people to take part who’re up for learning some new skills and applying them as part of a group challenge.

Collusion invites you to apply to join the team that will design and build an innovative, prototype outside structure (think 21st century community gathering space/ bandstand/monument/wayfinder) which seeks to engage people with the area/wider city and its data through creative use of interactive technology.  Each team member will receive a £500 fee.

There’s a proven lack of open, green spaces in this area of Peterborough and air quality concerns. The project will explore solutions to these environmental concerns and ways to support place-finding in the area through two interconnected aspects: i) the construction of an outdoor structure in the Lincoln Road Millfield area; ii) the development of a series of performic events involving artists and local people, utilising the outdoor structure as a curated place, linking into diversity and community cohesion.. The final outcome will be delivered in Spring 2018 as part of a key public moment – the first planned temporary closure of Lincoln Road.

Further details of the project and time commitment is included in the brief. There’s also a Q&A which we’ll add to if new questions arise. To apply, complete our brief application form. The deadline for application is 2pm on Thursday 02 November 2017.
