Fiddian is off to Shanghai to launch bTWEENScapes at eARTS08 a collaboration with Chinese artist take10. At bTWEENScapes, folk can write short texts which then summon a sequence of images uploaded to Flickr and tagged eARTS08. These subjective inputs interlink the repository of images building a semantic, but dislocated, visual journey. Tag urban images with ‘earts08’ at Flickr.com and creat texts at bTWEENScapes, go on you know you wanna!
Our GAS application then reads these texts and images and dynamically displays them on the largest panoramic screen in the world erected for eARTS08. The work is commisioned by eARTS08 and funded by the British Council Shanghai. bTWEENScapes is derived from b.TWEEN2CULTURES: commissioned by Just-b. Productions for b.TWEEN06 with support from Visiting Arts.
