The Final Level Finale: Strand 1: Plug in Zone
The Final Level Finale part of the event takes place on 31 October in All Saints Square.
Plug In Zone
The first strand of the Finale is the Plug in Zone. All Saints Square will be transformed into a village of digital and electronic games. These are open to anyone, but the immersive, active challenges will have an appeal to 11 to 16 year olds.
Scavenger Hub
Come and join in our sound experiments!
Have a go at making the Robot Chicken using upcycled computer junk, feel 1000 watts of bass power though your fingers, watch some dancing alien Oobleck, play a mechanical violin, and connect your friends to an electrical circuit to find out how squeaky their noses are.
Thunkist
Thunkist, AKA Simon East, is a long-standing visitor to the festival. Simon is a musician and creative technologist who specialises in taking movement from smartphones and smartwatches and using that to trigger sounds and visual effects.
Those interested in the audio side of things can expect to wrangle everything from chilled ambient sounds to hectic breakbeats in Ableton Live. Dancers and movers can expect to be creating soundscapes by moving their bodies.
