film interactive website based on Carol Morley disturbing dreams of a life, try to put ourselves in the heart of the matter of the film

In 2003, a woman named Joyce Vincent is dead in his apartment above a small shopping center in Wood Green, north London. She was surrounded by Christmas presents, which had wrapped. The TV was on. There were washing in the sink. It was not found for three years.

Last week I saw the premiere

sad and compassionate Carol Morley, dreams of a life, which uses fictional moments in the life of Vincent, as well as interviews with those who knew her, wondering how this death was apparently unnoticed, and that mean about life in London, and cities, and the 21st century.

To accompany the film, the producer Film4, also asked the commission of an interactive experience that would give participants a different view of history and its ramifications. Hide & Seek, only one study in London, who has worked on urban games live experiments and interactive games and projects of the museum was given the task difficult, but exciting.

  • "Our involvement began before shooting, so we were working mainly in the media coverage surrounding the death of Joyce," says Hide & Seek co-founder, Alex Fleetwood. "It was the emotional impact of the story - the strong shaking in our hyper-connected world, so someone could escape unnoticed - which attracts us and made us think about how we use that feeling as the basis for an experience that leads us to consider their own lives and relationships. "
  • The result is the dreams of your life, a sort of history of the interview, in which each participant was asked about their own lives, the formation of a new story about friendship and isolation (co-creator Margaret Robertson called it "an opportunity to do an audit of your life and relationships, in half an hour in a day's work"). The guide was written by AL Kennedy, and the images that accompany the project by the British photographer Lottie Davies, whose moves are difficult to be a time-lapse sequence in four seasons (you can find more information on their contribution here). The scene you have chosen, a window overlooking an anonymous suburban street, deftly summarizes the themes of the film - some images of a CCTV camera to be visible, but said everything about how we can be consistently observed in the city modern without being seen.
"We had several goals with an interactive project for the dreams of a life sister," said Alex, who also oversaw a project unique imaginative play for the Royal Opera House, called The Show Must go on. "The first was to reach an audience and make a digital curiosity .... Seeing the movie should feel like the inevitable conclusion to complement our experience.
