Angelus
In and out
The wave
A call
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes




I'm beginning to think pigeons are more than just great birds to have around, but.

Are somehow magic.

Birds.

They are a sort of guardian Angel bird.

Not magic genies that will make you win the Lotto.

Or get you elected emperor.

More of a gentle spirit that keeps true evil away.

voice two; are you listening?
i saw a pigeon today





The walls have ears.in one ear and out the other. have your ear to the ground. are your ears burning?

Tinfoil was the most abundant, occasionally bolts and nuts, screws, components of bicycles, safety pins, chains, shining, unidentifiable debris.


So once I get this set up, I'll show you how I'm going to do that.
All right.
Hair dryer taped to a PVC pipe that has an elbow on the end that's pointing up.
[Applause]

After I send you photos of a couple of these metal objects, you sent me back arrows, symbols written on the ground.


I’m trying to look
Right
OK

In Belgium, brass rings were made to adorn the feet of racer pigeons for identification. Released in flocks, the pigeons fly back to their coop - carrying this metal object with them. different tools were developed to determine the winner and to map their flight path in the sky.


So here's my solidified BLOB of aluminium. I'm gonna I'm gonna quench it in some water for no real reason, except that I just can't wait to

when i was in the plane i was thinking about how when you look down on the place you are landing into or leaving it can be quite overwhelming, because you are almost confronted with every moment and every feeling and every relationship you’ve ever had in that city all at once. Eg. you can simultaneously see; a bit of hill you walked on with an old friend, a street you had a first date, all the times you got off at one particular train station, a part of the city you used to spend every day in that you haven’t been back to in years. And then you are suddenly confronted with all these moments and their associated feelings all at once

and in that sense the groupings create a geology of emotion
whatever information is lacking from the object caught in sound
Like a bundle of sticks

Like a single starting gate and a thousand finish lines

And I think they're so cool looking
[applause].
I was able to break away most of the shell with the hammer
So I submerged it in white vinegar overnight to dissolve what remained of the shell.
We're all used to seeing the outside of seashells, but never the inside

I asked if you could hear it but you didn't know what I was talking about. We have different filters for sound in the constitution of our bodies. We can measure the space between walls, or landscapes, by sight - or memory. We can use tools to communicate. I sent you a recording on my phone. I wanted you to hear what it is to stand on these steps at 3pm on a Tuesday. I wanted it to contain the distance between my body and the tops of buildings, but it was muddy with footsteps, breath, car engines and pigeons. It was dominated by the wind in the phone speaker's ear.

Long endurance




it's been gathering twigs
it's been greasing up the glass with its wings


Years ago these signs may have caused surprise, but not now.
Change has come slowly to the old city.
