As a follow-up of the spread­gun per­for­mance in 2008, SMSling­shot is an exten­sion of VR/Urban’s dig­i­tal inter­ven­tion activism. The instal­la­tion fea­tures a hand­held dig­i­tal sling­shot device for spread­ing infor­ma­tion on pub­lic screens.

Hav­ing the con­cep­tual idea of the device already in mind a year before, white nights 2009 at Kim? (Riga) was for us the right oppor­tu­nity to actu­ally cre­ate, fin­ish and present our first pro­to­type of the mobile text­gun.
Like the spread.gun instal­la­tion for the media facade fes­ti­val 2008 (Berlin), the SMSling­shot is a tru­ely tan­gi­ble, embed­ded inter­ac­tion device for link­ing dig­i­tal data with peo­ple act­ing in urban (real) space.

Coalition Of The Willing

Coali­tion Of The Will­ing from coali­tion­film on Vimeo.

Coali­tion of the Will­ing’ is a col­lab­o­ra­tive ani­mated film and web-based event about an online war against global warm­ing in a ‘post Copen­hagen’ world.

Coali­tion of the Will­ing’ has been Directed and pro­duced by Knife Party, writ­ten by Tim Rayner and crafted by a net­work of 24 artists from around the world using var­ied and eclec­tic film mak­ing tech­niques. Col­lab­o­ra­tors include some of the world’s top mov­ing image tal­ent, such as Decoy, World Lead­ers and Para­sol Island.

The film offers a response to the major prob­lem of our time: how to gal­va­nize and enlist the global publics in the fight against global warm­ing. This opti­mistic and prin­ci­pled film explores how we could 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 hand the fight against global warm­ing to the people.
