“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.
