Art + communication 2004

A trip to Limbazi in northern Latvia, for the opening of the Piens (‘milk’) project, milk routes through the EU, mapped through the personal stories of the people along them.

Art + Communication 2004 was organised by RIXC in Riga, Latvia, October 2004, the final event in the Trans-cultural Mapping workshop series that had been running since spring. Even Westvang and I presented our Timeland project during the three-day conference and exhibition.

I’ve made a large photo set at Flickr, and we’ve been using the tag art+communication for collaborative documentation.

The Piens trip was a good example of GPS being used as a storytelling tool, a way of opening personal stories in a documentary process.

A big thankyou to the RIXC lot, and everyone involved.
