Antimapping Project CLOSING EVENT: Debrief

Posted by Edward on Monday, May 4th, 2009

As announced, Friday marked the CLOSING EVENT for Wei Weng’s Antimapping Project at the space. It was a magnificent destruction of the installation by a group of specially press-ganged child soldiers, taking the works apart and reconfiguring them to more closely match their desires.

Many thanks to all those who took part!

As part of the event, a clothing line was invited to demonstrate it’s methods. This one child was mesmerized by the machine.

Clearing away all dead wood, the children were hoisted by their handlers into position.

Many people adopted their own personalities for the Event, and flagged themselves as such.
