Creating Sense5

Tuesday 14th April 2009 – VICE magazine, known as ‘the coolest in the world’, has today launched a competition to find five creative talents for The Creating Sense5 party – with award winning band Hot Chip selecting the winning talent and curating the gig.

To mark the arrival of 5, VICE are looking for creative genius in any form including mixologists, designers, photographers, artists – anything, like the gum, that intrigues and exhilarates the senses.

Enter the competition and you could be personally chosen by Hot Chip and other optimally attuned experts, to show off your talent at an exclusive event on the 4th of June. Creating Sense5 will be a launch packed full of exactly the right people who should see it; Hot Chip, VICE, the media, and a sensorially inquisitive crowd.

5 takes inspiration from the human senses and so the competition hopes to uncover creative talent that can cleverly stimulate them with flair, imagination and individuality.

And if you’re in a band, are a mixing marvel or a lone-vocalist enter now and let Hot Chip, whose name alone suitably conjures up touch and taste, decide whether you’ll be supporting them on the night.  Hot Chip will be performing a very special DJ Set and they’ve even invited some special guests to appear as well (to be revealed).

So what’s your idea for the event? Do you want to build a pitch-black Velcro cocoon to explore touch? Go for it! Do you have an oyster and pea ice-cream recipe? Let’s taste it! Do you want to compose a digital-punk sound experience with lasers? Let’s hear it!

Alongside Hot Chip, VICE has secured an incredible line up of optimally attuned experts to sit on the Creating Sense5 panel and turn on their titillated nerve endings to judge your work.  From award winning video director to a duo who make cocktails out of architecture, the panel selecting the winners are Bompas and Parr (smell), Nova Dando (touch), Kinga Burza (sight), Rachel Edward Stuart (taste) and of course Hot Chip (sound). The five winners will be given a huge promotional leg-up as they show off their creations and skills at the coolest event of the year.

The first 15 entries will also receive free tickets to Creating Sense5, and if you have no such talents but want to come along to see Hot Chip, and bask in the sensorial melting pot they will be curating with VICE and 5, there are loads of tickets up for grabs too.

So what’s 5 all about? The new premium gum from Wrigley takes inspiration from the five human senses and, through its unique mouth-watering and long-lasting flavours, delivers a full and intriguing sensorial experience. 5 gum distinguishes itself from other brands with its unique sleek black design, minimalist pack style and bold communications, and will be introduced in three flavours from June:  a cooling peppermint flavour COBALT™, a crisp tropical flavour PULSE™ and a tingling spearmint flavour ELECTRO™.
