Last year, the Faculty of Animation, Arts and Design, in collaboration with Sheridan’s Institute for Creativity, put out a call for students to propose projects and installations that would enhance outdoor spaces on campus for the Livestreaming Contest. “Livestreaming” is a reference to the streams that flow through the Trafalgar Campus. Students were invited to work individually or in teams and to collaborate across programs of faculties in order to develop installation concepts for this project.
We are pleased to announce the winning proposal by Hugh Lai, Jessica Nguyen and Suri Yang, developed in their Design class taught by Jay Wilson and mentored by technologist Alex Geddie.
The challenge is being reissued for this year: it is open to all Sheridan students and can take any form – installation, sculpture, video, sound, performance, gardening, etc. All students are welcome to contribute to the initiative that we hope will acknowledge the stream and highlight its living presence within the Sheridan environment. Campus planners kept the stream that flows through Trafalgar Campus when it was built in the 1970s, and it is an integral focal point of the radial layout of all the buildings.
The deadline to submit a proposal is March 31, 2016. A jury will then review the proposals and mock-ups and award $1500 to a project to be built and installed over the spring and summer months.
You may wish to share the above information with your students. For more information about his initiative or to submit a proposal, please contact Lavinia Jula.
