After a great initial response with “random assistant” at the Rovereto Festival in Rovereto Italy, we brought this installation to our friends and peers in the design community to the OFFF Festival in Lisbon, Portugal.

2500 OFFF festival attendees worked on 4 one-by-three meter black and white prints over the course of three days. One panel was reserved for Joshua Davis, which he worked on for 8 to 10 hours each day, all 3 days along side the general public.

Each year in gorgeous Rovereto, Italy, outside Milan, the Rovereto Festival features international avante garde music, art and technology. Joshua Davis was commissioned to develop an interactive piece for this year’s event. Here was our take on “interactive”: we printed eight one-by-three meter panels of Joshua Davis’ black and white line art and asked the random passers-by at the festival to assist in coloring the large panels.

We we’re invited once again by the lovely folks at the OFFF Festival to work on a new installation for the 2007 festival at the CCCB, in Barcelona, Spain. Using our newly formed partnership with HP and their wide-format printing group located in Barcelona, we generated artwork for 9 panels to be installed in light-boxes down a black 100 foot curved ceiling hallway.

We enjoyed the public’s reaction to a high-tech process… installed in a low-tech presentation.
