THE PROJECT

Context: TV idents, film titles and credits, tablet computers, smartphones, advertising displays on TV screens... Motion design is already present in all parts of our lives. Yet, no place
is dedicated to celebrating motion design. When we realised
this, we came up with the idea of founding the world's first Centre dedicated to the world of motion design.

Our vision of the project in 3 steps:

I / Open the world of motion design to the public: Free entry.

The centre will be located in an affordable and accessible area

of Paris to encourage larger numbers of visitors.

 

II / To allow the plain curious, students, experienced practitioners and professionals to [re]discover artists and to meet with others.


Every month the centre will welcome:
→ either an artist [Kyle Cooper for example, the current American king of title sequences]

→ or a production company team [Post Panic or Psyop for ex.]
→ or a theme [for example 'the history of motion design from
the 1920s to the present day']


Artistic work and the interviews that will come from it will be watchable in two ways:

→ either by watching the monthly mini-documentary
which will be played on a loop on the large central screen.

→ or by consulting one of the iPads available for directly accessing interview clips and work.

 

These interviews, shot specially, will include the work of the artists concerned, their relationship to their work, their influences and their thoughts... and when it is a themed month, one or more of the contributors will also be interviewed.

 

In addition, the invited artist will recommend certain books
and / or films which will be available at the library in written
form or on DVD.

 

This monthly themed day will also aim to put together already established professionals and the next generation of the world
of motion design.


III / Promote young artists who come from different areas
and movements of the world of design :

The Centre will also house an area exclusively dedicated to the showing of work by experimental artists, from photographers, video artists and / or interactive and / or typographical artists...

The goal is to create interaction between two worlds : those
who are interested in Motion Design will be surprised to discover
the exhibition of the work of a photographer for example, and those who will come to look at the work of a typographer will discover Motion Design.
