Good Neighbours

A digitally enhanced walking documentary

Keep your eyes peeled, things are not what they appear to be. The street needs you! Will you be a Good Neighbour?

Experience an entertaining and provocative personal journey through a neighbourhood in York.

Good Neighbours utilises live performance, surveillance technology and chatbot messaging to take you on a weirdly familiar and speculative documentary walk, via your mobile device.

The work offers a future vision on how communities create spaces of belonging and alienation through media technology. Based on research into intimate surveillance culture in York, it offers a fascinating localised counterpoint to the usual story of mass surveillance by highlighting the micro-politics of a local neighbourhood.
