60 guests
/why
closing gala dinner after the Symposium "Imagination-Friction-Transformation"
/the question
The dinner attempted to explore the term „radius” and to question what the output of potential forces would be, when those forces – humans, ideas, origins, perceptions, experiences – come together. Could that be a collaboration or a
conflict?
/structure
The Extend Your Radius Dinner was structured by a prologue [apero] and epilogue and the three courses which were each introduced by interludes.
Apéro /
on the terrace of the TransitLager building, a group of the artists (Sascha Brosamer, Lisa Schlenker and Graham Dunning) composed live music on gramophones using recycled materials. The guests were invited to adjust parameters of the produced sound with their own mobiles.
The sound performance /
Dominick Boyle was composing music by sampling recordings he had collected before on the campus and its surroundings which were related to our topic.
the personal tool /
When the guests came back from the apéro to the foyer, a so called „personal tool“, which was actually an overdimensional tweezer, was handed out to everyone at the wardrobe in exchange for his jacket or personal belongings.
Main courses /
The table was divided in an outer and an inner circle: the dining area and the serving area. Between the courses, the serving area had a second usage as a surface for vertical projections. The food for the dinner was also created by the SV Cooking Team from the FHNW HGK.
The table set /
Each course was defined and designed to indicate the seating order, to fit with the served food and accompanied by specific parts of the Mono „Zeug“ Cutlery set, provided by the german manufactory Mono, exclusively for the needs of the dinner.
The projections /
The dinner was structured by courses and interludes which were connecting the courses with video projections on the tables and sound performance by Dominick Boyle. Both the projections and the sound performance introduced the guests to the parameters of the term radius.
