Black spot* need 40+ volunteers to participate in a mob experiment as part of Territorial Play on Friday 14 May. You will need to make yourself available between 3pm & 6pm on this day to arrive at a series of specific locations at very specific times. Reconvening at the Territorial Play HQ, Broadway Cinema & Media Centre, Nottingham at 6pm.
This live public intervention uses the same format as a flash mob but is more specifically consumerist** in context. By transposing the network architecture typical of online services into a physical environment we hope to subvert the everyday mechanics of real world consumerism. You will also document the event yourselves and write “snail mail tweets” (ie. postcards) which will make up a secondary artwork.

**you will be required to purchase a few items totaling no more than £3.
