Function: To observe and respond to the visual dynamic of the streetscape and to capture city imagery and reintegrate these images into a multiplicity of alternate scenes.
Design Features: Dry weather aluminium and timber construction; steering wheels with brakes (x 4); height levelling adjustable legs (x 4) to allow for up to 20° x 20° angle terrain; capacity to store forty plywood insert panels; open storage space (x 2) for equipment (e.g. high adjusting drill, spray cans, toolbox).
Deployment: Possible in most city terrains. Hard surfaces, concrete or bitumen easier than softer gravel or grass. Steep slopes to be avoided. Level ground or to limit of twenty degree slope when stationary. Ideally not deployed in strong wind.
Public Engagement: Two members of the public can directly engage with the creation of new spray painted images at any one time. Unlimited public audience.
Action Researcher/Performer's (AR/P) Role: Creates stencil designs from typical sites for laser cut panels; progressively selects different insert panels for display; creates new images using spray paint and stencils onto blank or cut boards; and creates compositions that respond to the scene behind.
Assistant's Role: One assistant required to undertake still and video image documentation.
