Cut&Paste Asks Toronto Designers To Do the Fairly Ridiculous
That’s how contest founder John Fiorelli himself describes the Digital Design Tournament challenge to take up pen and tablet and create something from scratch in 15 or 20 minutes on stage, in front of a cheering crowd. Begun in New York in 2005, Cut&Paste has dragged its lasso from Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Boston, over to London, Berlin, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, and now, finally, Toronto — which the press release memorably characterises as ‘kissing Lake Ontario’… um, ptooey?
The magic wand-off will take place on March 14, 2009 (but the first mandatory test round is coming up fast on the weekend of January 10-11), at a location to be announced. There will be separate competitions in 2D design, 3D design, or if you’re interested in the long kinetic haul, 8 hours of motion design: each category with its separate rules, and separate winners who will earn a chance to vie against the best of the other burgs in a global championship (which is also new this year), presumably for the title of King of All Media.
The promotional video depicts graphic design heroes of rockstar-like proportions, bringing new meaning to the phrase, ‘performance art’ (via blogTO)…
