Comissioned by Artichoke and The Space in collaboration with CultureTECH, Templecraft is an innovative digital arts project inspired by a monumental real-world construction. Using Minecraft, artist Adam Clarke, BlockWorks and Sparks will build a digital reconstruction of David Best’s Temple, replicating its startling architecture and intricate internal spaces. Mapped onto a representation of the city of Derry~Londonderry, this extraordinary digital artwork will create the impression of a 'Temple' high on a hill, towering over the city below. Minecraft players will then be invited to explore the structure online, and leave their own messages, mementos or objects inside its walls, before it too is ceremonially ‘burned’ online on Saturday 21st March. Nothing will be left behind.
