[mf2012] moving forest- release - going out this friday

[Tom Keene]

Hi List,

I've a quick proposal for the insurgency - I'm in the early stages of a project working with a voice recognition system and have a mobile platform (a small hand cart) with a primitive broad frequency (spark gap) transmitter. The system receives radio transmissions which it automatically interprets, then responds to with the transmission of a signal that interferes with all wireless communications within a short range. As I said, i'm in the early stages, but it would be great to work with these elements in a live environment.

Tom

Berlin 2008, Moving Forest London maps an imaginary castle and a camouflaged forest revolt onto the hyper-playground of the London metropolis on the eve of Olympics 2012.  Presented by a temporarily assembled troupe AKA the castle, Moving Forest brings together diverse visual/sonic/electronic/digital/ performance artists along with writers, walkers, coders, hackers, mobile agents, twitters, networkers and the general public to realize a contemporary version of a classic play.  Making use of all media, the acts elaborate operatic manoeuvres into an escalating scheme of conspiracy and its contemporaneous political manifestations. The camouflage tree branches of Birnam Wood are electronically updated with contemporary forms of stealth and insurrection. Armed with signals and slogans, the Moving Forest forces an entry into the Castle.  A final merging of forest and castle occurs during a moment of downfall, jubilation and loss.
