Twitchr relaunch at MOVE exhibition

We were thrilled to be invited to participate in MOVE exhibition at Peter Scott Gallery, at Lancaster Arts. It was a pleasure to be in such an interesting exhibition all concerned with Mobilities, with artists Jen Southern, Louise Ann Wilson, Simone Kenyon, and Hannah Catherine Jones. “MOVE presents five artists whose work connects with travel, finding our way and routes through places and history”

This became an opportunity to rework Twitchr and to present some documentation and ephemera from previous Twitchr walks and events. I also made a new generative soundscape from Twitchr recordings to playback occasionally from 5 custom made wooden bird boxes mounted in the gallery. Programming for this was by Matthew olden and ran from a raspberry pi.

We realised, earlier this year, that audioboom had changed its focus to podcasting via paid subscription it became apparent that twitchr needed to work independently of third party apps. Thankfully the audioboom content was still available, so Ed holroyd reprogrammed the whole system to work independently. Thanks for Lancaster Arts and ACE England for funding this development and showcasing the new version.
