Sora

A generative identity for a contemporary music festival, drawn live from the programme itself.

Role — Art Direction, Creative Development

Overview

Sora runs eleven days and around ninety performances. Every year the poster problem is the same: how to hold that much programme without flattening it.

We built a small system that reads the schedule and draws it — each performance an arc, its length a duration, its weight an ensemble size.

Challenge

The visual output had to be genuinely different each year while remaining unmistakably Sora, and had to be produced by the festival's own two-person team.

Approach

A fixed geometry with a variable input. The schedule is the only thing that changes; the rules that turn it into artwork stay put.

Outcome

Posters, screens, tickets and the full programme generated from one spreadsheet, in an afternoon.
