artistic research

Visual representations and emphasis of the individual hide the complexity of the urban collective actions. Social and natural rhythms compose the immediate, intuitive expression of urban ambiences. In this artistic research project the intention is to, by experimentation, reveal qualities, temporal aspects and embodied perceptions of the social ambience situations that constitute the corporeal collective rhythm of the city. Immersed in the situation, in situ, as pedestrians, citizens, artists and researchers we take part in and invite "the audience" to participate in playful events. "Bodies in motion" serve as scale, tool and reference system in methodological approaches, based on concepts as resonance, improvisations and variations, as both descriptions of urban life and practical tools for collective actions.
