Bumping Screen
Televised Distance #2
The workshops provide the participants 5 programs to explore the possibilities of understanding the mobile phone and its network system and/or the situations when we communicate in daily life. The Mobile phone as everyday communication device is turned to be a tool and materials in this workshops.
The experience, which will be created throughout the workshops will raise variety of questions and discussions from political, spacial and perceptual points of view.
The workshops was held in Malmo, Sweden at Summer of 2003 as a part of "The invisible Landscapes" project
Part 1:Flow of information
We are always a part of dynamic flows of information.
How to overview this (maybe complicated) flow? Does it have form?
We'll find a flow of information through our bodies

Part 2:Mobility versus Places
Mobility reflects our desire to overcome distance and time. Then we normally do not aware of those dimensions, physical scale and time when we face or use media, like we already got used to watch news from oversea and no one says there must be small human in TV box.....even size of figures on TV screen doesn't mean anything.
But remember, what you would say when you call someone on mobilephone? "Hi there? Where are you now?"
We uncounciously know what has been missed in modern communication media.....
