ESCAPING THE LAWSCAPE
Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 July 2017
Escaping the Lawscape was a collaborative experiment (devised by Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, Julius Colwyn and Liu Yang) taking place in the streets and canal-ways of Hackney Wick. The experiment invited participants to reconsider the intangible network of consensus and expectation that operates, within and upon us, as we move through shared social spaces. The lawscape is generally considered in three different dimensions: the symbolic, the material and the atmospheric. In the series of games devised for Crowd Control, new ways of examining these spaces were encouraged through a conceptual and physical exploration of Hackney Wick, also involving spontaneous social media documentation.

CROWD CONTROL
In July 2017, a team of researchers and practitioners came together to embark upon a month-long situated research residency based at Arebyte Gallery in Hackney Wick, East London. Connecting visual, digital and performance art practices with contemporary scientific research, law and urban design, the project - Crowd Control - explored the mechanisms of collective behaviour through observation, simulation and experimentation.
The project was commissioned by Arebyte as part of their 2017 Arts Council England funded programme on ‘systems of control’, inviting artist Heather Barnett to take a month long residency at the gallery. Extending the invitation, Heather was joined by Dr Andrew King, Dr Ines Fürtbauer, Dr Daniel Strömbom, Dimitra Georgopoulou, Laura Cappelatti and Amanda Fry (behavioural scientists at Swansea University with whom Heather is currently Leverhulme Artist in Residence) and by Professor Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos (law, spatial justice); Liu Yang (urban design); Josh Greenfield (swarm systems); Jamie Harper (theatre, game design); Julius Colwyn (art, design), Annarita Papeschi & Vincent Nowak (urban design, crowdsourcing), Melanie Phillips (interactive theatre) and Kira Wainstein (project assistant).
