allsopp&weir. Fly No Fly Zone (Part 2: Proposals for Fly Zones)

On Saturday May 22nd 2004 at 4pm, Battersea Park, London is officially 
inaugurated as a Fly Zone.

Proposed are potential temporary communities of flight.

Participants attempt to organise themselves around a specially modified 
kite/surveillance camera. Set to a soundtrack of flight messages, 
choreographies of lift, crash and drag, infused by the whims of the 
wind, are recorded for future broadcast.

Adopting the technology used in the pursuit of clandestine populations, 
but in relation to utopian notions of play and community, ‘Proposals 
for Fly Zones’ suggests oscillations between face/sky, security/flight, 
exposure/clandestinity, an intense resonance approaching escape 
velocity.

Join us. Become weightless. Try and get it up. Look to the sky. Lose 
your footing, grounding and landmarks. Escape the Closed Circuit.
