MinecraftCLUB is back on track!

After a successful few weeks of testing out our new set up and a bit of boating around, we’ve now began work on a new project in response to the upcoming gallery exhibition by Kimchi and Chips: Light Segments Space. 

Keeping our themes accessible, MinecraftCLUB members will work on builds revolving around structures of light and sound. As always, this can take many forms and we’re always amazed by the interpretations that our young people think up. Some ideas from this theme include:

Insulting light and sound - sensory overload

Cinema of light and sound

Pink floyd cover

Rude Goldburg Machine

Kimchi and Chips are also adapting the work to include the lines and and shapes of the Derbyshire countryside. To compliment this, we will be using seed: 31415926535

Young People’s thoughts on Habitat...

Gallery Influence - Ahead still lies our future

Yesterday the members of MinecraftCLUB had the opportunity to explore the Ahead still lies our future exhibition at Derby QUAD for the FORMAT International Photography Festival and consider the themes of the work on show in connection with their habitat world builds. 

There were lots of themes drawn out from the visit from use of materials within space, lighting changing how things are seen and use of colours, to more in depth concepts of territory and being restricted without ones own habitat. 

From the visit, MinecraftCLUB members began reconsidering their builds and the habitat of the world itself by the use of gold materials, inclusion of a tree house, woodland mansion, using boats and adapting builds to include sea lanterns to aluminate the space. 

A Photoblog by Grace

Today Grace has been working on the staff room for the Tree Hotel. The Staff Room is where staff will stay before people come to the hotel.

The Tree Hotel is a group build because it’s quicker and gets you interacting with people more. As part of todays session, Grace worked with her brother Sam, who was building a mine entrance to the hotel. 

Our Habitat Theme World - Week 2

Our current project, inspired by the FORMAT International Photography Festival theme habitat, is already shaping up. Participants are focusing on their preferred surroundings in Minecraft, whilst collaborating on the wider environment with other MinecraftCLUB members and using the layout of the world generated. 

Most are collaborating on small builds, with some secret areas - shhhhhhhhh

A Clearer Perspective

Following the antics from last weeks session, a little revisit to the club rules was in order. This was received in good spirit and reset any issues or perspectives of others to zero. This was followed by all, apart from a one individual who was quickly photographed in action and therefore warned about their behaviour - proof is a wonderful thing. 

This weeks session was:

We all have fun even with the rules

i feel like the rules were a good addition but sometimes they can take fun away 

we added to the cities and looked at the rules, it was fun

today was good because we re-built our destroyed build from last week

i was happy because i found the mushroom biom

I gave every one speed potions :D

I made trump and I am gonna give him a tnt canon.

I didn't really like this one because everything i built was exploded!

Rock Nation are not pulling any punches!!!

The power of FREE creativity

Letting the young people find their own creative outcome without restrictions of a theme has been fantastic. Many new things have come from the free expression, however, it does seem that many are creating based on current knowledge and not on finding new methods or ideas. Where ideas show to truly be new for some comes from collaboration.
