The first stage of the Bemerton Project began as a spatial experiment :
- a net was set up, in one of the streets connecting the estate with Caledonian Road, turning the space into a 3D game. - What followed - was a quick ‘take over’ of the game by neighbourhood kids, who claimed the space and made up their own rules, jumping, climinging and running around.
This spontaneous energy matched with a discovery of a local hip hop group that used the estate as the backdrop for their music videos, posted on their You Tube channel.
Inspired by the experiment, research and general atmosphere, Stage One
proposes : a mini recording studio/booth, providing accessible equipment for anyone in the community looking to create and share their work.
