New Press and Media:



Purge (more details here) was a great success - with 1,000 people from around the world watching the live stream and hundreds watching in real life.  People were excited, offended, and transfixed to their computer while Brian decide the fate of 1400 Facebook friends.  In the end 180 were deleted (30 have since re-friended), 650 emails received regarding the work, and there was also some great press coverage.
From Good Media, a really sharp blog by Nona Willis Aronowitz is here. 
From a-n, a blog by former Facebook friend Vanessa Barlett is here.
From Current Media, an interview with me and Stina Backer is here.
You can watch the final minutes of Purge here.  Purge was commissioned by motiroti in London and will be repeated in Kuopio, Finland for the ANTI Contemporary Art Festival in Sept-Oct 2011.






Cruising for Art got a really nice little mention as one of the 'highs' of the Latitude Festival by The Guardian, which described it as a 'mischevious living installation'. GScene in Brighton described it as 'Funny, illuminating, disgusting, brilliant and of questionable legality, Cruising for Art was one of the best nights out Brighton's seen this year'. More info on Cruising for Art is here.

Carpe Minuta Prima was most recently performed in Cambridge (The Junction), Leeds (Compass Festival) and Ipswich (PULSE Festival) and will be performed in additional cities in 2012 (Stay tuned for details). Videos of the 'opening' of Carpe are here (Ipswich) and here (London).  Lyn Gardner's beautiful piece about the show in Brixton is here.
