A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
