🎨 Common Ground


1. Project Overview


A brief and visual intro (2–3 sentences max):

Common Ground is an intergenerational immersive arts project bringing young and older Totnes residents together to co-create digital installations using AI, spatial sound, AR and projection. This page shares visual references, past work, and early ideas that inform the project’s creative direction.

2. Creative Concept in Action


Use this section to show early visual sketches, mockups, or animations:

  • Scroll-based storyboards (e.g. animated zine page, AR graffiti on building)

  • Simple labels:
    “Concept: Projected AR mural generated with participant sketches and AI prompts.”

3. Relevant Past Work


Add embedded video or stills here with labels:

  • Example 1: Participatory audio walk using layered voice and location triggers

  • Example 2: Projection installation from past live show (name + year)

  • Example 3: Digital zine output created through collaborative workshops

4. Participant Voice


“I never thought I’d work with AI, but it was just like telling a story — except the story was talking back.”
– Past workshop participant, age 66

Or use a photo of an intergenerational moment if available.

5. Tool Aesthetics


Include short gifs or stills of the tools you'll use:

  • AI text-to-image outputs

  • Unity-built AR visual mockup

  • Spatial sound / Envelop for Live screenshots or audio clips

6. Project Team


Name key team members + 1-sentence bios
e.g.
Nathaniel Mason – Lead artist & researcher exploring XR, spatial sound, and AI as critical performance tools.
