Case study: Animated TWIST IT public engagement game and art intervention

A series of animated short clips around colours, personal features and even animals in Stuart Semple's public art intervention as featured in his 2019 exhibition, "Dancing on my Own".

Twist It! acted as a live, City-wide game for communities to play. With giant coloured dots for people to interact with, our animations instructed people with different hair, eye colour and clothing to play with the dots and have fun with each other in classic 90s style.

Stuart Semple is a world-renowned artist, art supplies maker, public artist and provocative force in bringing positive change through art.

Prior to opening his late 2019 exhibition, in celebration of 20 years as an artist, Stuart Semple contacted Jay, with the idea of creating a series of short animations using 1990s inspired Memphis Group shapes and colours. Some of the animations required hand-drawn elements and some required cut out photographs, meshed with full-motion 2D animation.

Twist It! not only formed part of Stuart's exhibition, which ran in Bermondsey Art Space in August - September 2019, but it was also presented in Bournemouth City Centre as a giant interactive game, taking inspiration from the popular family game 'Twister'.
