Panel Statement 

This panel session shows how the work of artists can transform our experience of being in the city. The Deviator project by pvi collective invites participants to take over the streets of Darlinghurst and transform them into an anarchic playground. In a more contemplative mode, Jason Sweeney co-opts members of the public to help build a collaborative crowdsourced sound map of quiet spaces in the city. And in case you’re feeling peckish, the roving fleet of gerobaks (traditional Indonesian foodcarts) of Grobak Padi enliven Sydney streets, serving up food and multimedia art with a live link to Yogyakarta, Central Java.
