Here’s a great idea for a collaborative movie site from uber noggin:
The site invites and collects witnesses from around the world to submit photos and videos of zombies in their communities. The media is linked to a global map depicting the level of infection in areas around the world. As the contributions grow, the level [...]

Toronto health care workers staged a sidewalk circus today to underscore the fact that cuts to health care funding and services have become a “circus” under the McGuinty government’s restructuring plan.
The event, which featured stilt walking, mimes, juggling and unicyles, comes as communities across Ontario prepare for massive “Listen UP! McGuinty” public health [...]

When I worked as a corporate clone one of the many platitudes I loathed hearing was: “our employees are our most valuable resource”. Every day I saw what happened to any other resource needed to run the business; how it was brought in by the truckload, processed and fabricated into a saleable item before the [...]

my box of kazoos arrived today – $35 on ebay and I’ve got 50 instruments ready for deployment.
Keen to try them out, I took them to work with me. My class for the day came to learn how to use structured query language to create database structures and manipulate data. They had no idea what [...]

After writing the post on drive-in movies – C21 style, I’ve been thinking about how to include live performances on the big screen. Hooking up a video camera to the projector would be pretty easy, but why not add some music from ccMixter too? And what about a little live processing? Perhaps some slitscan work. [...]

At the Newcastle show last year I watched a small group of performers stalking members of the public. The tightly packed group jogged closely behind their victim, keeping in time with short hums on their kazoos – somewhat like a band of marching Disneyesque ants.
Of course, I felt I had to try it out sometime.
And [...]

Before it was pushed out onto the cold, hard streets, there was a thriving industry built around casual live entertainment. Vaudville was popular from the early 1880s until the 1930s, when it was pretty well replaced by cinema and phonograph.
Ironically, some of the best bits were saved using the technologies that were replacing it.
The [...]

Although this might look like it’s drifting away from live performance somewhat, bear with me…
For a couple of years now I’ve been intrigued by the idea of portable audiovisual units and the MobMov manaifesto sets out one way of making those dreams into reality.
I loved the idea of showing old cartoons from the Internet Archive, [...]

I know this one isn’t actually being performed on the street, but it could have been. If you juggle three balls, but wonder if you’ve done it all, this video’s is a great yardstick to measure up against.

Here’s a nice idea for an interesting shopping mall experiment…
How would people react if they found themselves surrounded by people moving forward at a different rate or time (or not moving at all)? I decided the Home Depot on 23rd Street in Manhattan was the perfect place to try this out
see how it worked out [...]
