LINKED

LINKED is a long-running radio sound walk responding to the M11 Link Road demolitions in East London. Lamppost transmitters broadcast voices of displaced residents, forming an unseen, ghostlike layer exploring memory, protest and place.

Walking piece
Fracture Mob invited people worldwide to walk and get lost together, blending their real surroundings with a shared audio-guided imaginative space. Broadcast on Stress FM, it connected strangers across time zones for 29 minutes of collective disorientation.

Fracture Mob invited people across the world to get lost simultaneously.

The piece sought to construct a moment in which an imaginative space existed. A space of being lost.

People walked in the geography of their own, grounded reality, whilst experiencing the collective reality of the audio guide. In which they were directed to follow instructions to walk and therefore become lost in both the audio sound scape and their physical geography.

Fracture Mob was broadcast live on Stress FM (Lisbon Artist radio station) and taken by people all over the world in differing time zones.

The audio lasts 29 magical minutes. In this time frame strangers across the world formed a fracture mob- participating simultaneously in a shared act of getting lost. AMAZING!
