Hello, Welcome to the virtual realm of our Site Fiction project. We are an artist collective experimenting in Perth city to activate empty or disused spaces, and engaging and interacting with any potential audience (you!). We are currently inhabiting the former Arcane Bookshop (212 William St Perth) until 3rd October. During this we will be undertaking a series of performances in the shop front. This blog will be regularly updated with STUFF, so stay tuned!

Sun 28th - 120meters of poly twine

so we arrive at the shop, we have some balls of string, and lots of small ends of string. we decide to start tying up the short ends to form one big single strand.

we map out the space with string. using points only from the existing architecture of the bookshop we loop the string through, it is a three-dimensional drawing of the interior space. we are learning so much about the space as we go. as it gets more and more web-like we must negotiate our way through the space. it is a challenge.

we realise from outside the string is not immediately visible, and so it looks like we are ducking and swerving and swinging our legs around for no apparent reason. interesting!

we turn the UV lights on at the back, and the spot lights on a the front. the string is visible in different phases and states. it is most effective with us moving through it.
