Gallery Influence - Ahead still lies our future

Yesterday the members of MinecraftCLUB had the opportunity to explore the Ahead still lies our future exhibition at Derby QUAD for the FORMAT International Photography Festival and consider the themes of the work on show in connection with their habitat world builds. 

There were lots of themes drawn out from the visit from use of materials within space, lighting changing how things are seen and use of colours, to more in depth concepts of territory and being restricted without ones own habitat. 

From the visit, MinecraftCLUB members began reconsidering their builds and the habitat of the world itself by the use of gold materials, inclusion of a tree house, woodland mansion, using boats and adapting builds to include sea lanterns to aluminate the space.

A Photoblog by Grace

Today Grace has been working on the staff room for the Tree Hotel. The Staff Room is where staff will stay before people come to the hotel.

The Tree Hotel is a group build because it’s quicker and gets you interacting with people more. As part of todays session, Grace worked with her brother Sam, who was building a mine entrance to the hotel. 

The group decided to build the Tree Hotel because it was more environmental to build and was based on the surrounding environment.

The power of FREE creativity

Letting the young people find their own creative outcome without restrictions of a theme has been fantastic. Many new things have come from the free expression, however, it does seem that many are creating based on current knowledge and not on finding new methods or ideas. Where ideas show to truly be new for some comes from collaboration.
