In Design & Destroy audiences are invited to enter a 360 world created by Curator Jo Mangan alongside the artists chosen to represent some of the best of Irish Design. Lighting, Costume, Set Design and Composition are represented in an all-encompassing world co-created with RETìníZE Immersive Media Studio.
Design & Destroy explores the work and snatches of the working life of designers from very different perspectives. Viewers meet some designers in their studios, experience the work of others presented on stage, delve into 360 animations of one, and witness the destruction of the work of another.
The Virtual Reality (VR) film entitled Design & Destroy is the centrepiece of the exhibition. Directed by Jo Mangan, Associate Directed by Peter Power, filmed and edited by Jack Morrow/ RETìníZE, it includes both the process and the finished work of the selected artists, experienced through Oculus Go headsets.
