Urbis Designday

30 March 2010

Urbis Designday returned for its 5th year, only to go ‘Off the Grid’. A new collection of collaborators were able to interpret this theme as inspiration dictated – bringing a fresh perspective to New Zealand design’s big day. The 2010 event paired creative minds from architecture, multimedia, furniture, landscape and fashion design with a baker’s dozen of Auckland showrooms.

Sub.stra.tum

This year Cite was joined by Mike Hodgson of The Dub Module and Chris Macmillian of Mulk, dynamic artistic collectives that create multimedia installations for live events. For March 20th, this included bringing the Cite showroom space to life with moving image and sound.

The installation titled "Sub.stra.tum" utilised video projection to reveal the daily processes and hidden details of the creative workspace. “It’s about taking a plain white space and bringing life to its underbelly” said Mike of his vision for the showroom.
