The Moving Forest | 3 Keys - The River Oracle by the Hexists 3 Keys - The River Oracle by the Hexists is the opening act of the Moving Forest 12 hour performance. http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/moving-forest-act-0-3-keys-river-oracle
3 Keys - The River Oracle with The Hexists is a game of chance and divination in association with The Moving Forest, Act 0. It attempts to invoke the relationship between the divinatory functions of our contemporary 'influencing machines' (cybernetic systems and game theory using data-mining, data profiling and data protection) and traditional magical ones, creating new machines in the process. Using tools such as cards, dowsing, stick throwing to interpret phenomena in the landscape, historical and current, 'readings' can be cast, allowing associative action, language and thought to determine what might happen in the future, to create a path, an artwork. In 3 Keys (version 3), participants will follow the Hackney Brook, an old subterranean river that begins near Finsbury Park and ends up in the River Lea near the site of the Olympics, using different exercises to interpret the landscape and cast readings. We will 'mark' the route along the way with objects and stories and other inscriptions. The river is the oracle and we are the transmission. The documentation and divination tools will be made available for display in the exhibition after the event. 3 Keys - The River Oracle is also part of the Invisible Forces exhibition at Furtherfield Gallery. http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/exhibition/invisible-forces All Invisible Forces Events http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/event/invisible-forces-events -- Other Info: Furtherfield - A living, breathing, thriving network http://www.furtherfield.org - for art, technology and social change since 1997 Also - Furtherfield Gallery& Social Space: http://www.furtherfield.org/gallery About Furtherfield: http://www.furtherfield.org/content/about Netbehaviour - Networked Artists List Community. http://www.netbehaviour.org http://identi.ca/furtherfield http://twitter.com/furtherfield _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
