DN Festival of Light
November 2019
Artist: Ed Carter and NOVAK
Partners: Doncaster Communications College & School, Doncaster Minster
About: The centrepiece of the 2019 DN Festival was a specially commissioned audio-visual piece called ‘Tectonic’, bespoke to Doncaster Minster that uses 3-D mapping and projection techniques.
Tectonic, using the light projections, was designed to be a totally immersive experience covering the ceiling and walls of the iconic Minister building. Created by NOVAK, working with artist Ed Carter the piece aimed to encourage Yorkshire’s Deaf community to experience and get more involved in the arts.
NOVAK is a creative studio producing innovative and ambitious art and design projects, specialising in motion design and immersive experiences, encompassing projection mapping, art and museum installations, stage visuals for music artists and video accompaniments for theatre and dance performances.
Two chairs were specially developed for D/deaf audiences using vibration so they can see and feel the experience.
