Production Technology
The book is cloth bound in using fabric from the main colour palette purple to represent creativity and mystery. The text is debossed and printed in a metallic pink foil, again from the main colour palette to represent love and kindness but the metallic finish adds a touch of magic and playfulness, creating reflection and distortion, much like the surrealist notions this project is inspired by. The cover of the book forms a horizontal triptych, to hint at the Tri aspect of the project. Three ideas, three artists, three layers of meaning and creativity.
Design Challenge
The project is inspired by The Exquisite Corpse, a method of collaging numerous designs by several artists into one collaborative composition. A creative mash-up, with international participants collaborating to produce one multicultural creative piece. Think of it like a design relay race. The artworks generated are displayed on the online gallery and subsequently sold as high-resolution downloads. All profits from the sales will be donated to the partnering Singaporean charity TWC2; Transient workers Count Too; thus, coalescing international creative communities, building bridges, and providing a channel for diverse collaboration
Research
This project explores alternative methods of image production and consumption with a view to exploring diverse and ethical co-creation practices in a virtual space.
Inspiration
The Tridea Project and was borne from the desire to address our societies divisions through collaborative creative practice. Tridea’s overarching aim is to promote inclusion, collaboration, and altruism as a counter to these divisions. This project embraces social & cultural diversity by inviting creatives from around the world to participate in an international collaborative form of the Surrealist parlour game, ‘The Exquisite Corpse‘.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2018 in Singapore and finished in January 2022 in Singapore.
Operation Flow
The three layered cover of the book provides both practical navigation and visual metaphor.
