After a week of planning, testing and constructing Moksville was ready for its 24 hour existence starting at 14:00 on Saturday, August 18th. With a short ribbon cutting ceremony, our little village was open to the public. In the end we expanded beyond the original set of projects to include some news ones that grew out of the weeks activities at the site. Moksville was comprised of the following structures and activities:
- Jam & Co vegetarian restaurant
- The Ceramic Kiln
- A Camera Obscura
- Error Energia
- Mea Culpa pavillion
- Maboro Ship -ceremony for the ancestors
- DIPIU' [D+] modular playground
- Quadrophonic wind harp installation
- Lastelinn -kids village
- and a Bus Stop
Based on the amount of visitors, this seemed to be a very interesting and accessible event for the public. Many of the local residents of Mooste came out to witness our creations as well as a number of around Estonia and abroad (Turkey, India and Finland to name a few). The program for the day was fairly relaxed. Besides all of the projects being open, there were a few special events like and origami workshop to prepare for the ancestral ceremony and then the ceremony itself in the evening. The modular playground transformed itself into a ping-pong table where an extensive tournament was held. text and photos by John Grzinich
