SURE ACTIVITIES
A Iceland-based brief written for Platform 10 at the Royal College of Art , Design Products MA.
While experiencing the extreme Icelandic landscape with its geological properties and its subpolar oceanic, Bureau ODYSSEY reassesses the notion of risk and tourism in order to speculate on future wonders, parallel worlds, extrapolated tangents and cautionary tales.
Bureau ODYSSEY designs and performs various ‘promenades’ ranging from meeting with Ulysses and the Cyclops, to looking for moon dust and auroras through the lunettes of aluminium sharks
At the Bureau, we explore the extreme and thrill-propulsion.We perform series of attractions/experiences/activities to question the horizon and its limits.We test and assess the impossible and propose visions of new leisure activities.
