About
'Our chosen venue, Middlesbrough Railway Station, was perfect for this, as it is a space of movement and transfe. Andy Christie and Jose Parra (Bimbilibausa) went out in duo, acting as live comment boards, changing identity with use of masks and providing light relief by way of celebrity red-carpet interactions... [a suitable end result was] a collectively produced collage because this medium carries such strong links to the way people use the internet.
The nature of the internet means that we don’t have full control of what actually happens to our images; we are a part of the collective whole where images and information can be changed by others, used and added to.'
