Feedback is an interactive installation that aims to encourage performance from members of the public and circus performers alike. Using the familiar form of a mirror, the installation uses cutting-edge computer vision techniques to allow users to remix their bodies in real time, and display them on a large scale over the interior and exterior of the Roundhouse in Camden.

By dancing, performing – or even modestly gesturing in front of the screen – the installation will capture the movement of anyone interacting with it to create a graphic animation of their body movements. The effect is similar to that of a ‘Hall of Mirrors’, generating an unexpected and magical wobbly, bendy or stretched reflection.

Significant Objects is the brainchild of journalist Rob Walker and Josh Glenn.

A talented, creative writer invents a story about an object. Invested with new significance by this fiction, the object should — according to their hypothesis — acquire not merely subjective but objective value. How to test the theory? Via eBay!

Significant Objects can be thought of as an experimental, thematic literary journal using eBay as one of its publishing platforms.

‘Coalition of The Willing’ is a film that discusses how we can use new internet technologies to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens in collaborative ventures to combat climate change. Through analyses of swarm activity and social revolution, ‘Coalition of the Willing’ makes a compelling case for the new online activism and explains how to bring the fight against global warming to the people.  As the film tackles the subject of online activism, we decided that the logical home for ‘Coalition of The Willing’ is here online.

The film will be released on this site in 6 staggered ‘waves’ approximately 2 weeks apart, with 4-5 film sections uploaded in each wave. Prior to the release of each film section you can explore the biography and work in progress of the collaborating artist.

A Love Letter for You is a project by Stephen Powers a.k.a. ESPO with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.

It’s an ongoing graffiti love letter stretching across 50 building facades over 20 blocks along the Market-Frankfurt subway line in West Philadelphia. Powers first started painting on these rooftops as a teenager in 1984. 25 years later he returned home to Philadelphia in the summer of 2009 to write a love letter across the same rooftops facing the Market-Frankford line.

The letter, meant for one, with meaning for all, encompasses 50 walls on a 20 block stretch of market street. Drawing input, inspiration, and work from the community Powers created a letter to and from west Philly. The project required 1200 cans of spray paint, 800 gallons of bucket paint, and the skilled hands of 20 of the finest spray painters in America, who Powers put into the legendary ICY club.
