BUILD AND DESTROY EXPERIENCE invites you to design three metre high Hyper Temple artworks in a demolition party of self ! Hyper Temples are surreal and sentient oversized foam objects that appear to move with a life of their own. Audiences are invited to co-create these high vibrational artworks with the community, building them up and knocking them down. Join ØFFËRÎNGŠ (Missy Gilbert) as she guides you through movement, gestures, stacking, pushing and watch them turn into your very own designs within the UPP universe. Disruptive interactive art adventures designed to agitate old habits through co-creation and dynamic play based interactions.

Expect live soundscapes, digital projections and play based prompts. This workshop aims to support community connection, expression, sharing, listening and contribution.
Explore the large scale universe of UPP inside the old Union bank. BUILD AND DESTROY is guided by ØFFËRINGŠ the Artist and Founder behind UnitePlayPerform.

BUILD AND DESTROY EXPERIENCE is part of “Design your own Universe” programme presented by UnitePlayPerform supported by Melbourne Design Week and Cecile Place “Art in the Bank” residency.
