a couple of years ago i was involved in a live project (see www.liveprojects.org for details on what this is) that linked with peprav… which is a european platform for aletrnative research and action in the city… the group of people working as part of it were really excitng- will wirte more and invite them to be involved in this blog soon!
our group was called the inconspicous yellow office and here are a few posts made at the time…

this live project was one which became part of the urban act publication, which can be accessed at:
http://www.peprav.net/tool/spip.php?page=recherche&recherche=urban+act
there are so many brilliantly exciting strategies within this… i will hopefull write and show some examples from here at a later date…
i also contribted a little about what i was doing at the time… bit I had just joined sharrow forum and we hadn’t really written a brief… i didn’t know what the distinctiev sharrow project would be at the time or how i would act, what links i would make… so i dont answer the questions or see the signifcance of why they were asked… so am quite seperate from others in the book… it is clear that i am still more student at the time of writing… (its funny how you can understand theory but you have a different kind of understanding when you come up against a situation in real life!)
but on the positve side we are hopefully going to collectively return to the publication and update where we are now- i can’t wait to do this and may start to think about my response to this on this blog…
