Inside
Out TASK ME: Text
messages performance tasks service
 |
Somewhere
between 'Flash Mobs ', 'Invisible Theatre' and 'Fluxus' scores,
the TASK ME project invites clubbers or festival goers to become
performers for
short periods
of time. And provokes spontaneous reactions in the public (that
is unaware of its premeditated nature). |
Examples
of tasks:
 |
1) Jump 10 times 2) Be a dog for 5 mins 3) Smile to everyone around you until you receive the next text 4) Behave like you're drunk for 5 mins 5) Freeze until the next text message arrives. 6) Close your eyes and find your way to the toilets. |
Through
sudden changes of behaviour and dynamics between people in public
spaces, TASK ME challenges accepted codes of conduct and creates
an enhanced state of reality. By turning people into performers
it might point out how much we perform our own behaviour in the
everyday.
To join the next TASK ME project, which will take place
on the 4th of February at the closing party of Sophiensaele's
100 Grad
festival (Berlin, Germany), send a message to +44 7624 80 25 52 with
your availablity (times and days you spend at 100GRAD Festival,
example: "TASK ME from 7pm till
2am on 3 Feb" or "TASK ME from 2pm till 4pm on 2 Feb,
4 Feb").
PS - you have to write TASK ME in
the beginning of the message.
