Laura and I, armed with our fat liquid chalk markers, planned to go and draw on the windows during peak hour, unfortunately we got caught in peak hour ourselves, so got there a bit later than we planned. Still we made it and spent about an hour and a half in the windows doing our thing with our markers- it was fun!
Later Claire and I tested out the projector for tonight's performance, which we discovered might not be possible due to all the light coming into the shop from the street-ahh! but there's still hope if we can get a better projector otherwise it's plan B- wing it ha! So there will still be a projection of some sort tonight at about 7:30, we're probably going to bakery after so if you want to come meet at Brass Monkey first we can go out from there.
ps. probably the most interesting expereince of yesterday's events was the two (extremely) drunk homeless men who decided to make the shop alcove their shelter. It took them about half an hour to realise Claire and I were in the shop, despite projectors, lights and movement. Mostly they ignored us, we were slightly concerned though when one of the men decided he wanted to try and get in and tell us about his art career, we thought he might be angry at us (we're not sure why) and weren't sure how we were going to leave. In the end the vocal guy had gone off somewhere and the other guy didn't even notice us leaving despit his head resting against half the door.
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!

I love the look of the artwork on the windows on this one. It's drawn on there so intricately!
re: the homeless residents, how surreal and sad at the same time!
yeah totally, the guy got a sad spot when he said his whole life he'd been painting his soul and now he was in darkness. and he could show us the tree he lives under. it was a strange end to the evening to say the least...
