The artist has gone for a series of walks near his home in Madrid. Anyone can go to these places and lots of people have already done so. Some will be easily identifiable, especially for people from Madrid. Others, however, hidden away, will most likely not have been noticed.

Interactivos?’14: Rethinking collective behaviour and action.
This video shows the real-time crystalisation of a Riverrun trial experiment run at Medialab-Prado in Madrid. The fonts, size, colours and shape of the text have been set on the visualisation control panel and patterns of repetition are shown through changes in the colours of the text.
This project has been developed by Kevin McCourt, artist and Bartolo Luque, theoretical physicist.
This practical experiment will focus on social interaction, with more than a hundred creators collaborating in the making of two collective works: One a story, the other a picture. Each person will participate, using their own computer (client), by designing a small part of the collective work which will be housed in a central computer (server).
The projects will address how we are influenced by others as we form and communicate across networks.
They will allow us to also explore relationships between scientific (Physics) techniques for understanding collective human behaviour and philosophical and psychological concepts related to individual experience, sensation and perception which form part of such social phenomena.

We plan to present interactive artistic projects and participative interventions which explore relationships between scientific (Physics) understanding of collective human behaviour and philosophical concepts concerned with individual experience, sensation and perception which form part of such social phenomena.
Our practical experiments will focus on social interaction in public places. They will be designed to permit the emergence of heterogeneous, idiosyncratic, anomalous, or shared behaviours, within and across different culturally specific contexts and in pan-cultural contexts such as the internet.
