Distance, Field Broadcast and we
DISTANCE is a roaming performance festival that explores our relationship with distance, now and into the future.
Ryanair to migration, trespass to Skype. From new technology to age old customs, we face a multitude of choices as to how we engage with people across the world and across the street.
This year, DISTANCE invites artists inspired by the distances between Riga, London and Newcastle to create new work that responds to three cities, three festivals, and you.
DISTANCE takes place at Homo Novus in Riga, LIFT in London, and Wunderbar in Newcastle, where we shall be launching weather balloons, tuning HAM radios, conversing with zoo keepers, adjusting borderlines, and using our hands and hearts.
DISTANCE http://www.fromadistance.co.uk/about invites you on an adventure that takes you home and away.
We are part of the project “Field Broadcast” and will interrupt your internet sessions with lullabies and tenderness. To see three artists, Nomadi, Rob Smith and Sean Maltby broadcast live from a field direct to your computer desktop, download Field Broadcast software at www.fieldbroadcast.org/distance
