This October InterAnima CIC is launching the Re-Imagine Your Town Pilot in Penryn .

Turning a vacant shop in the heart of Penryn into a Pop up interdisciplinary community media studio, residents will begin to create an interactive map of their town’s past, present and future .

Local professional artists already active within the community supported by a team of  digital experts will facilitate the residents of all ages and community groups to begin the archive . Out of this archive will emerge a 3D interactive map in virtual reality

Interanima CIC has already built a 3D CGI replica of the landscape removing all buildings apart from the town hall. This recognisable yet ghostly virtual reality leaves residents, who’ve seen it, with the desire to populate it.

Over October we will be hosting Workshops, events for all ages and shared conversations over tea and cake . Residents contributions relating to Penryn’s rich heritage, observations of now and ideas for it’s future will begin. Real and imagined ideas, memories and visions shape an emerging landscape of “re-imagining”. A virtual space that becomes both a 3D interactive map and an interactive archive of a town’s past, present and potential future.

Until my suitcase got too heavy I was a sculptor earning a living as a traditional stonecarver . At the cross roads I began to make films - animations and live action documentaries. Their selection at international festivals such as Annecy and Sundance made filmmaking take precedence and now a different tangent beckons. Alongside I have produced for other artists and worked extensively in education. My current works come under the title "burrow" and focuses on ladders and the action of digging. It Incorporates animation, projection and performance and now is digging it's toes into interactive interfaces for audience participation. The Concepts behind Burrow inspired the idea for a collaborative Archive "Climbing Time Digging Light" which I'm inviting other thinkers, dreamers and realists to contribute to.
