Independent Cinema for Everyone

plan b (artists Sophia New and Daniel Belasco Rogers) have been working together since 2001, making performance, audio, durational and participatory work. Previous projects have resulted in theatre performance, works on paper, walks and installations in locations as diverse as airports, shop windows, open fields and even on bicycles.

Using locative media and data collection, plan b have worked across Europe mapping their daily journeys, changing moods and exchanged text messages. In gathering such detailed records they draw attention to how much information can be collected and sold by faceless companies but also open their everyday movements for examination with unusual candidness.

In Walk On, plan b’s All GPS Traces in Berlin, 2011 can be seen at Plymouth Arts Centre and in this talk, hosted by PAC Home, the artists will talk about how it is to have a continuous record of everywhere they go, examine this ‘drawing of their lives’ and other ways they have devised to make this data tangible, and talk about their deliberate merging of the everyday and their artistic activities.
