Solstice Sky Share

A little something to get you out more.

Invitation to participate!

Solstice sunrise and sunset. Sky Share. A collective project.

Some of you will be aware that since April, I’ve be making a piece of work about the sky at 07:00 every day. Either way, it’s posted daily on my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts.
As I’m sure I’m not the only one getting up early and looking at the sky, I invite you to participate in making a collective piece of work on the Solstice. This year it falls on Tuesday 21st December.
Sunrise and sunset are wonderful time markers and especially poignant at the time of the Solstice, so the invitation is to stop whatever you’re doing, to look skywards and make two images of the sky directly above you (no horizons!) – one exactly at sunrise and one exactly at sunset, whatever the weather and wherever in the world you happen to be. Your images can be made by drawing, painting, photographing etc.

You can send a few words as well if you’d like, describing what you see and how you feel.

Crop your images to a square format and size it to be around 2Mb.

Send your images via wetransfer.com to kel@sva.org.uk.

I will then assemble them together into a composite, post the results and send you a copy of the file

Please get back to me if you have questions.

Tapping the Lines

Tapping the Lines is an interactive walking practice where participants select a single urban street, attach thumb tacks to their shoes, and walk its full length, using the sounds they create to engage with and enhance the acoustic environment. This method transforms walking into a collaborative sonic performance, emphasizing the walker's active role in shaping the urban soundscape through attentive listening and intentional movement.

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
