In this Lunchtime Talk, interactive documentary specialist Judith Aston will present her ongoing collaborative work in Avonmouth.
She will explain the principles of polyphony - a musical style where two or more independent melodies play at the same time. Judith will show how she is working with the interactive media platform Stornaway.io to create a catalyst for dialogue around Avonmouth’s possible and preferred futures.
The talk will open up discussion on how the project maps onto the Three Horizons framework - a visual tool used to navigate complex change, map transformational potential, and build a shared vision for the future. This framework was pioneered by the Studio’s Co-founder, Bill Sharpe.
