GPS

About plan b's GPS practice 'The Drawing of our Lives'. Every journey has been recorded by Daniel since 2003 and Sophia since 2007. This has become a source of a number of different outcomes including printmaking, installation, animation, video and performance
plan b collects every text message they send each other in a large database stretching back to 2006. This collection has resulted in the pieces A Message to You as well as exhibited works in fine art contexts.
For the whole of 2011, plan b reported their moods three times a day. Initially this was to feed into the Soul Walking project research at Nottingham University. It has led to the exhibition of all their mood reports at Art Laboratory, Berlin
crossing paths
A plan b project created for Artefact 2012 at Stuk, Leuven. Using GPSs given to people of Leuven, we bring people together who might share the same paths but never meet. Result is an animation and performance lecture.
A Day in the Life
A living cartographic portrait of Birmingham for the MAC and Fierce Festival. The walkers of Birmingham recorded their daily journeys with GPSs and we created an animation and performance based on this material.
the Monday Walks
A GPS animation and City Walk inspired by the Monday Demonstrations that took place in 1989 in Leipzig. Made for play! Leipzig Conference and Performance Festival in collaboration with students from the University of Leipzig.
A Message to You
A year's worth of text (SMS) messages shouted across a distance. First conceived for the Anti Festival in Finland and then performed again in Tempelhof Airport as part of Preview Berlin during the Berlin Biennale in 2008
Bed Full of Songs
An invitation to sing with us all the songs we can think of until the duvet is full of titles and the bed is full of songs. A durational piece lasting approximately 5 hours
How do You...
Thinking about the 70,000 hours that the girl and clown from the British television test card have spent together, we put ourselves in the position of two people stranded, not sure if anyone is watching any longer. A four-hour durational piece.
The Last Hour
Sophia and Dan, regulated by a chess clock, take it in turns to say everything they haven't said already as if this was the last hour they had together.
Using models of the city of Liverpool and stories collected leading up to the performance, we attempt to affect the city through 'urban voodoo'. Made at Static as part of the Liverpool Live programme during the Liverpool Biennial 2006.
A film for one person at a time viewed from the back of the tandem it was shot on. plan b invites the spectator to take the back seat and witness journeys that celebrate the liberation that cycling can give you. An Alfred ve Dvore commission for Automat, Prague's pro-cycling festival.

call out wittenberge (2008)
As you walk through Wittenberge, you see hides (Hochsitze) growing incongruously out of the pavement, offering new views on the town. Once inside, the visitor not only sees the town from a unique perspective, but a collection of signs that inform, annotate or comment on the locations they are in.
