experiments in connected social spaces

LiveForm:Telekinetics creates experiences in transgeographic temporary performance zones. No longer tied to a terminal screen and keyboard, nomadic groups of social hackers pack mobile feasts of sensors, antennas, robotics, food, and music and head out on the town. Networked telepresence picnic parties unfold in vacant lots, roadsides, cafes, apartments, alleyways, bars and hotel lobbies – wherever bandwidth is plentiful and security guards scarce.


Jeff Mann and Michelle Teran's LF:TK project is an artistic proposition for a re-imagination of networked reality. The events are not meant as entertainment for an audience, but as experimental and collaborative acts of creativity, research and development of new social forms, and interventions in public space.
