Working Title...Begging basement

I'm constructing, well the working title is 'begging basement'.

I have long concluded that street theatre outside of festivals is either non viable or very close to.

Having straddled the internets existence it seemed to me self evident that the internet, in terms of global eyeball/audience was the worlds most prominent boulevard.

Initially that boulevard was raucous and filled with small cheaply designed distractions, commerce was clunky and there was a surprisingly weighted congruence of experimental art and expression, creative guilds, individuals mixed with the usual scurrilous rapscallions and their older brothers the corporations.

Now it's mainly large multilayered deceitful vehicles owned by absolute fucking demons who if the world were just would be drowned in the spittle of whoever was nearby anytime they ventured anywhere publically.

As such everyone's traumatised, disempowered, overstimulated and constantly vexed and whole generations have had their brains rewired by third parties.

So yeah, dredging humanity from gaggles of passing pedestrians for collective yucks isn't what it used to be. Non viable.

I have plans to use the street theatre modality to incorporate all that is now shitty, [like constant demand for selfies] and using the failure of western society and its social mores I intend to produce online the income that the street cannot.

By being as malcontent as my heart desires.

The three main frames at my head height are going to either be links or hover-overs wherein the corresponding text will superimpose on the right where the smaller frames are.

I need to have a design conversation about whether hover-overs are not phone friendly and whether I should care.

So three elements provided by this page will be.

A brief description of 'the honour system' and how it historically was used to denote prices and appreciation.

A curated small list of other peoples endeavours I want to promote. It's coming along...🙂
