Invigilator: Digbeth
Paul Conneally and Nikki Pugh’s Invigilator: Digbeth took place on Saturday.
This is the fifth in the Invigilator series where a single set of directions has been transposed onto different locations to determine the exact place for watching over; we can choose our significant starting points, but then a pre-determined sequence of lefts, rights and straight-ons takes us on a not-quite-random walk to an unplanned invigilation site.
Nikki recorded hers using Twitter from her phone, which was nice to see. I wonder how mobile microblogging could be used for other art-related events…
And photos are slowly going up here.
Nice piece of psychogeography people!

The workshop discussion which was integral to this piece was really interesting - we were joined by Gavin Wade (who chickened out on the actual invigilation - too cold) who asked us who would play Nikki and myself in the Hollywood film of ‘INVIGILATOR’ - we didn’t answer any questions that were asked of us by anyone - but spun a screwdriver to see who would answer on our behalf - Rob Hewitt answered for us and we are now in negotiations with Roy Chubby Brown and Angelina Jolie.
