Remote Citizen
REMOTE CITIZEN, Istanbul, 15.10.2011 –
Street performance, participants conducted in public space by wireless system. The project REMOTE CITIZEN was till now performed in 17 european cities in France, Switzerland, Turkey and Armenia. More to follow..
Up to 50 actors are telecommanded via wireless intercom (remote directing).
The goal is to perceive the motion flow in public places, directly analyse it and use it in its spontaneous evaluation via performative elements. Through direct control of the actions, remote citizen influences the flow of normality, deflects it, brings it to a standstill, or speeds it up. The intervention is subtle, it gives the place a slight temporary stir that can be mysterious, eerie, or funny.
