REACTION 15.2
REACTION 15.2 developed small art interventions that were installed at eleven locations around the neighborhood. The various installations are centered around the idea of exchanging memories between the users and the site on one hand and imprinting information in urban space on the other. By pointing at some hidden characteristics of the sites, our interventions expand the ways of reading and using public spaces in Graça. The interventions are highly visible and interactive but small in size, provoking close contact and participation. Since all other actions of the workshop took very different form and appearance, part of our idea was to develop a branding strategy by imprinting information about REACTION in unified manner at all locations. The installations are almost always in the same color and are intended to remain at the locations after the other temporary installations are removed.
We designed seven different interventions, some more permanent while others taking the form of an event. Most of them were produced utilizing the technology at the Fab Lab in Lisbon, while others were composed of found objects. We altered and manipulated the found objects in order to hide their original identity/memory and reveal a new one. Our group benefited greatly from the use of the Fab Lab in Lisbon and the expertise of its members. Authors: Milan Dinevski and Damjan Kokalevski with REACTION 15.2 team
