Manifesto. What we WILL do


Trying to put some rules and a loose structure around the project so it doesn't become lost, or played and undocumented. And so that everyone who wants to be involved knows what the deal is.

Those That Move ( we still reside under this name, working together for the second time, people have been invited to par-take in this project due to how much effort they made with the show previously).

Themes/issues/idea's/research to explore: We are doing this project at the end of the day to expose ourselves as the creatives, designers, illustrators that we are, in a new fresh, controversial, unique but interesting way. Basically we going for press in a strong unthought of way, shouting at people to take note of these passionate young designers, willing to gamble their last £150.

Current affairs are a rift with student controversy and riots are loose. This is the perfect time to hit the news as recent graduates and get press by actually doing something.

By using our remaining funds, (£150) we will play the original National Lottery Draw that takes place on a saturday evening at 8 o'clock. Which particular saturday is yet to be decided, but possibly to choose by looking into numerology and lucky number associations in English culture. (unfortunately there is no saturday the 7th until may of 2011).

We will make sure the research we do is in-depth and substantial enough before we play the lottery, in order to put together a publication as soon as possible after we have the results. - elaborating on the research side of the project. People can choose to, or not to submit written, or visual idea's around the theme of the national lottery, historical thoughts through cultures on luck and fortune, these will form a basis for the publication being the majority of content.

Some idea's for content, writings, visual studies for the publication: (1) Initial research in the form of a written and visual essay. Lotteries over the years, the idea of fortune, history, culture working toward present day. Facts, figures. (2) conspiracy around our national lotteries? (3) An interview with someone who works at the national lottery, someone who works with the machines? (4) People related to the lottery, type designers Dalton Maag. Are there more? (5) Interviews with locals who play the lottery. Locals who have won the lottery?

The publication. Introduction, an outlining project proposal, what went on before… what are we proposing as this project. (press release). Why are we doing this? Who is involved? How will we make this project more than just a game?

Playing the game. As we've said we before we will be playing our entire budget on lottery tickets, roughly £150. We will collectively pick the numbers (1-49) drawing them singularly from a hat, at random 150 times.

This entire process will be video'd and shot on camera ( or do we take stills from the film?)

We play all the lottery tickets in the same corner shop, lottery seller, it will be in Peckham, as close to college as possible. We will film this entire process.

Once the tickets, have been purchased, they will each be scanned in and kept in a safe place, waiting for the evening to come around where we will all apprehensively watch at someones house together.

Our winnings will reflect entirely though the outputs that come after the draw. We have set out to make a publication, and a DVD. How can these reflect our winnings?

Loosing everything: All the £150 has gone so we're left with no other choice than to risograph them using the Camberwell Press (cheap paper from brixton paper supplier). The DVD will be run off someones computer onto a blank disc. Scribbled on.

Winning something: The money made will be put straight into making our publication and essentially our presence quality stronger. Lithography?


To mark the end of the project, the completion of a publication and a compelling of the footage we will put on an event, hopefully in a great venue in London, depending how we received our press release is in the first place. Where we will sell the publications for a pound - mimicking the chance we had with winning to the chance these people have of getting something out our story.

There will be a screening of the finished short film. We will have champagne. Because we are still winners.
