Working and experimenting on the @lumen_london residency in Atina Italy. The theme this year - Astronomia, Arte E Rligione. Each night we looked up, photographed the stars, shared what we knew about the constellations and the stories that animate them as the Perseid meteor shower traced milky white streaks across the skies.  

Here's my translation of a Chinese poem telling a story of the three bright stars of the Summer Triangle (or the Navigator’s Triangle): Deneb, Vega, Altair. 鵲橋仙 纖雲弄巧，飛星傳恨，銀漢迢迢暗渡。 金風玉露一相逢，便勝卻人間無數。 柔情似水，佳期如夢，忍顧鵲橋歸路。 兩情若是久長時，又豈在朝朝暮暮。 — Qin Guan 1049-1100 Immortal at the Magpie Bridge Held by the delicate clouds, ephemeral forms of art, the sad message of the shooting stars, a silent journey through this dark Milky Way, one meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl in the jade dew-touched morning of the golden autumn wind, eclipses the countless meetings of the impassive world. Feelings flow tender as streaming water, the inspired moment unreal as a dream, how can they bear to go back on that magpie bridge to different homes? If love between two can last for aye, why need they abide together day after day, night after night?

I'd like to learn more about it, but from what I understand the story goes that Zhi Nu (Vega) the weaving girl is seperated from her cowherd love, Niu Lang (Altair) by the Yin He (the Silver River or the Milky Way). But once a year on the 7th day of the 7th month, the star Deneb creates a bridge of magpies to carry Zhi Nu across to the one she loves to reunite. In China they've many names for the bridging day: the 7 Dusk, the 7 Opportunity, the evening of the 7s, the Double Seventh. A song for long distance relationship and the benedictions of synchrony to console the incurably romantic...

We started the project early last Friday with a late night sigil drawn outside the gallery that held our hopes for creative technology. Sometimes it's a tough ride to creatively work with technology in a way that holds values of sharing & ecology - much of the world runs to an altogether more commercial value system. But the tendency towards destruction has to be taken into any investigation of shared creativity, it is part of it. A tough lesson. Today, we’re recalibrating, breathing deep and listening to the birds.

Inspired divination & the poetry of Yeats, we have been making this project at the FACTLab - exploring participatory algorithms and group utterance as we build. Open to all, people who came into the FACT Lab could cast their own oracles using printed fragments of spoken word recordings of voices from Liverpool. These "oracles" where to be voiced by the golden bird in the tree in front of FACT.

Byzantium - an oracle bird that voices the words of the city - was installed on Friday outside FACT Liverpool. It's a sound experiment exploring polyphony, visionary language & birdsong.
