SHED

A festival mainstay with their ancient handcrafted wooden games, SHED returns to the festival this year in new, elevated form with a hand-built hut fabricated out of natural, indigenous, found materials. Inside this structure, you can find a library of game-sets, magical playthings and more. Feel free to play, explore, interact and get lost in it.

Compass Presents Teleconfusion

Teleconfusion is a playful interactive installation – a network of phones designed to delight, confound and connect. These interactive messaging systems are installed around the festival and invite attendees to be imaginative, cheeky, or just randomly inspired.

Pick up a phone. Dial a stranger. What will unfold... The beginning of a love affair? A riddle to be answered? A glimpse into the mind of another - playful, friendly, macabre… Who will you connect with? Pick up a phone, dial a number, and find out!
