OUTSIDE THE BOX (homeless robot)

OUTSIDE THE BOX (homeless robot).

Giles Walker.

Giles Walker spent the last six months visiting homeless people around London and recording the conversations he had with them. It is these voices that have been programmed into the interactive figures in the hope that observers are challenged by the existence of lives that they might prefer to ignore and, at the same time, be enriched by this unique perspective of an environment that we all share but use in completely different ways.

This project has been supported by: : The Arts Council England. Single Homeless Project, a London-based charity working with people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. (www.shp.org.uk)

i'd like to see this for real. Here in Toronto these are questions that get ignored, it gets harder to ignore when it has a price tag attached.
