Anonymous - 'Untitled footage anonymously donated.'
4WCoP 'anonymously' received this mysterious video, which apparently shows secretly acquired footage of people exploring 'urban play tactics'. OBSC analysts suggest this took place in Brighouse, but fly posters have been seen elsewhere making grand statements that there are links with an unknown Berlin based collective. Sceptics say it is ’vulgar visual fodder’ and some viewers have dared to make assumptions that the actions aim to encourage people to consider diverse topics through play.

Pink and grAy - 'Words in the Woods.'

Pink and grAy - ‘Long Playing.’

Workshop 24: Helen Garbett and Bill Laybourne - 'The Revolution Booth.'
The Revolution Booth is temporarily erected on the Monarch’s Way, a long distance footpath that traces the pursuit of Charles II across the English countryside in 1651. Passers-by are invited into the booth and respond to prompts that playfully inquire into the nature of revolution and their experience of contemporary revolutions in technology, identity and culture. Watch the artists’ short film documenting the project, then join them at 18:00 on Saturday to find out more. WATCH HERE: https://vimeo.com/591520531 |

Anton Hecht - 'Urban Maypole: Make maypoles in the city happen.'
A short film documenting Hecht's interventions, changing street furniture into maypoles. The project brings something normally associated with villages into the urban space. It uses similar tactics to the way people hack the city, or create urban play experiences, not unlike skateboarding and urban running. The artist looks at changing or adding to the affordance of a piece of street furniture; the intervention is momentary and disappears upon completion. WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/djbZZfxTSyM |

Rachel Owens and Emily Inglis - 'The Junction.'
A trip through a landmark; entering beneath its arterial roads, lounging amongst its flyovers, hesitant in its dark underpasses, bolting from strangers into its feral woods. Taking cover and picking apples in the heart of Spaghetti Junction. Playing time: 3.5 minutes. WATCH HERE: https://vimeo.com/587218938 |

Zoe Chan - 'Ambulatory Soundscape.'
Let your environment speak to you! Visually interpret different environmental sounds heard during any walk. For example, if you hear a river babbling or sploshing, do not photograph it, but instead photograph something around you that represents the sound of the river to you. Additionally, if you ‘feel’ a sound or aural echo of the past, document it in the same way. You can take part outside or inside. Share your findings on Twitter, Instagram and the 4WCOP Facebook page using #AmbulatorySoundscape and #4WCOP21. For more information, contact Zoë Chan on Twitter @ZoeTypelark or email zoe@typelark.com. |
