Fancy confusing “chaps playing loud hip-hop on their mobiles on buses”? Alicja Rogalska (who you may remember was one of the people on 11-11-11) has a proposition: All I’d like to ask you to do is to play some rural sounds (birdsongs, dogs barking, etc.) on your mobile whilst on board a bus. Like a flashmob – everybody meets at a bus stop, we all get on a bus (top deck) and play a certain sound at a certain time (yet to be decided). The sounds will be available on the internet to download onto your mobile. All sounds are short (25secs to 1 minute) and designed to create curiosity and amusement amongst fellow passengers rather than annoyance. She’s got the sounds available for download and will even spring for your fares. Full details here, and you can contact Alicja through her website.
Birmingham Behind The Scenes is a project to document what goes on while we’re all safely tucked up in bed. Found by D’log (who has his own private interweb with which to discover such things I’m sure): “Birmingham Behind The Scenes explores whether we workers are aware of how important the night worker role is in today’s society, whether there is a strong camaraderie among the different workers, and what extent they feel appreciated by the millions of us who rely on them each day We hope to celebrate these unsung heroes, inspire a new recognition, a greater appreciation of this secret club, and remove the mystique from this army of invisible workers.”
