Blue Human Rights costume, London 2012

3D Model

This blue gradient newspaper suit was designed for the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. It was worn by a performer in the ‘Navigation’ dance and features printed bold, black newspaper type text from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Scanned by Ben.

Created through the Digital Explorations Project, a dynamic project, funded by the Rothschild Foundation, National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Paralympic Heritage Trust (NPHT) with support from Heart of Bucks. Groups of participants from local disability organisations have been trained in the use of a 3D scanner and photogrammetry. They have shared the skills that they have learnt with students from a SEND school to create a 3D virtual exhibition of items from the NPHT collection.
