“What U shoutin’ ‘bout” is a portrait of the anti war and global justice movements. This deconstructed/ reconstructed portrait is made up of multiple TV screens (of different size, age, make), placed on varying head height plinths symbolising a stream of people. Each plinth represents a voice, an individual in the collective. These voices are presented on TV's, challenging our relationship with the media, politics, activism and change.

The screens build up a sound and visual collage, in a surround environment. From a distance it may sound like a cacophony of voices, but as the audience approaches they will be able to pick out voices and a narrative by moving in and around the space and closer to each plinth/ person.

The screens are orchestrated, creating rhythmical montage, individual screens make up a musical/ visual whole.

The voices have been recorded mostly over the last 6 months, I have been asking people what they are campaigning about and asking if 'people power' has a chance of effecting change in today’s climate.

Do the Shackle Shuffle at Club X-Ray!

MP3 of the song Seize the Day performed at the Hiatt protest today in Birmingham. (From Indymedia Birmingham) . Hiatt is based in Perry Barr, Birmingham (just down the road from my Nan's) and produces shackles that are used in Guantanamo Bay. In the late 18th century it made "Nigger Collars" for restraining slaves in America.
