6/+value/Emperor.


Brief was to add value to something around the college. A joint project with @Bhav_Misty and whilst most people added value to objects we aimed to add value to both the experience and person of lecture and lecturer.

Pictures after the jump and even more on Flickr.

Going to carry out the campaign at next week somepoint.

Words from campaign posters:

Julius Caeser, Tutankhuman, Darth Vader. All preachers with an entire nation holding on to their every word, commanders of men willing to fulfill their every desire; Emperors in the truest sense of the word.

Emperor is the new Chelsea School of Art and Design initiative to reinvent the lecture theatre; inverted and reverted. Instead of the lecturer looking up at their audience, the theatre will be turned around and the audience will be looking up at them. When the lecturer looks over his audience as if he were a great emperor he will be filled with both courage and confidence. Then, as the audience look up they can do nothing but have unquestioning belief in this higher authority.

Cool idea. So all your lecturers are men?

They are actually, though we do have guest women speakers. I was using ‘he’ as a gross generalisation… And ummmmmmm I guess Cleopatra could be added?
