Peregrination.

This project arises from the practice of roaming - with physical movement, a slice though a digital drift. Dérives augmented with GPS, smart phones, encounters and social networking add informational pulls to the established situationist activity. As 'foreigners' to one another (delineated by Western Tradition to come from different academic/intellectual fields) Shepley and Rowland test their ideas to form flowing confluences of creativity. Through an emergent and disruptive anti-disciplinary collaboration Shepley and Rowland create an intersection of 'visualized data' which seems to both enhance (and hamper) its own logic -- i.e. an interactive format for community and belonging. However, the work being less about an 'art language' and more about conversations as travelers in data, 'foreign' to one another appears to enliven a belief in our own connections and capacity to question. Live data feed of viewers' interactions with the work in the space through e.g. motion sensors will merge with other live data streams measuring e.g. temperature, and combine in a visual data feed over time to produce a living and emergent image of interactions.
