Moving Forest 2008
Transmediale.08. Berlin.
London workshop 2011
During the 12 day prelude, the forest, the imaginary insurgency force recruited through open calls and specific assignments, move about the city, on foot, on sites and on the net. There are 4 threads throughout to connect all happenings.
[1] An openstreetmap with the cloudmade platform
[designed and programmed by Gordan Saviciç]
allows participatnts to sign on, log in, unload and track their own location and actions.
[2] A smartphone interface
[designed and programmed by Marc Widmer & Jonas Ohrstrom]
transmits slogan reading by the general public.
[3] Arrows and Blood
[designed and programmed by Linda Dement]
each slogan sent in by smartphone triggers an arrow on the openstreetmap and deepened the
color of the blood stain as in lady Macbeth’ hands.
[4] Audio/video streams uploaded by the participatants.
