This isn't a depressing post about my feelings, instead it's a super happy, no longer hungover, amazing review of Saturday night! Just to rub it in :P (I also got a placement today which has cheered me up!)
Right. Where to start. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Ha. Honestly...it was one of the best events I have been to. And that says something. For yous who don't know what I'm talking about, I had free tickets to the Creators Project. Tom Wood and Dario also managed to get some plus 1s so it was a good, bloody crowd of us. It was at Victoria house in London and the day consisted of lots of arty installations, etc and a sweet party at the night. I really can't be bothered to go in depth about what it was because I'd be here for ages but if you're interested check out the Creators Project site.
So when we got there in the day we were greeted by an electronic, percussion machine/sculpture called Felix's machine in the reception. It was playing some 'melodic genius robot music' as Dario likes to describe it. It sounded like an upbeat, hiphop version of explosions to me but I LOVED IT. First impressions. Good start. As we went around the maze-like venue even more you could just 'feel' it was going to be a crazy night.
The first thing we did was watch Spike Jonzes new film, I'm Here. In short, it's a love story between two robots. I loved the concept and how it was filmed but it made me a little sad, in a good way of course, but made me wish a robot would give me his body. (that sounds weird if you haven't seen the movie!) I also went into this room after watching it and had to answer 3 questions about the film which I really hope don't get put in the documentary because I was all awkward on camera!
The rest of the venue was filled with other fun installations, I'm sorry I really can't go in to depth I would be here forever but there was an indoor forest, a pyramid that scanned your face and projected a live 3d version of it in somewhere crazy like Beijing or something, a free photobooth oh and FREE DRINKS. All night. I don't think Dario could quite believe it when he went up to the bar and asked for 12 black bulls or whatever and they were like, sure, here you go. Amaaazzinnnggg. Also, Peaches, Marc Ronson, Kele from Bloc Party, Tinchy Stryder.
Another highlight, because the night was sponsored by Intel they had laptops around where people could go on the Creators site etc. These were positioned near the bar and next to the queue for the photobooth. I had the genius idea of directing every laptop to chat roulette. I'm sure you can imagine the fun in that. Wanking Iranian men greeted by a sweet crowd of partying people.
Right. That's all your getting. Check both of these videos out. Peace and love. Thankyou Creators for a sick, sick night. I heart Carlton Banks. Haa!
