Synopsis
Elements is a three day festival for roughly 16,000 attendees located in Long Pond, PA. Organizers expressed a desire to increase participation amongst attendees and inspire them to bring interactive art experiences. Through conversation and experiencing the festival, I identified key interventions they could support reaching their goals. I also lead the first iteration of the Department of Shenanigans, a sub-team of the Art Department that created engaging, low-budget experiences to provide an examples to attendees of projects to bring in the future.
