transient aliens
we discovered that many people outside of the work interacted with the pieces in a similar playful way, here is an example sent to us by a student from leeds college of art.

Blind Fold
Sketch 4 from Kate Dickinson on Vimeo.
Eliminating eye contact between the subject and the audience. Limiting the chance of intimidation.

Make it clap.

The intention was to draw the audience into more of a participatory role. Applause was written on the subjects face to elicit a visual and audio reaction.
Disturbing the peace?
Sketch1 from Kate Dickinson on Vimeo.
By simply standing still in a space the subject became a catalyst for reactions from the audience. It provoked confusion and unease amongst the viewers.
DANCE OFF!
If you dance, they will come...
The dance began very casual on Millennium square, Leeds. We danced to the escaping music from the Ladyboys show. Instantly members of the public joined in dancing with us and clapped along to the music.

Silly String
Perhaps on your travels through Leeds you have come across this sight. What was your reaction? Did you smile, like it, hate it, ignore it?

Light Night
Come see some of our work at Nation of Shopkeepers on Friday 9th October from 5 o'clock onwards. Join the community.
Mission Statement
there is no such thing as a community,
we are individual men and women, and
we are families/ the communities we
indentify ourselves belonging to; students,
neighbours, colleagues, punks, are all
social constructs to content us in our
solitude/ a comfort blanket/
Even though we pass through many social
groupings throughout a day, when we go to
bed, even if we are sharing our bed, we are
ultimately alone with only our inner most
selves/
the tie that binds us together is experience/
experience of laughter, experience of dirt,
experience of missing your train home/ it is
through our shared experience of an event
that brings us together momentarily in a vast
universe/
not a community in the traditional pseudo
sense we have thought about in the past, this
project endeavours to form a new more honest
approach to social cohesion/ if communities
must exist they should be a group of varied
and intrinsically different individuals/ after all
there is only one of us, how is it even possible
to assign us to any generic notion of massed
humanity/
transient communities proposes a series of
events designed, planned and spontaneous
to bring together these disaparate strangers,
as audience, in a transient reaction, which for
a moment in time shall force the individuals
into a passing community bound together
by a shared feeling, memory, experience///
