• Sonnets from the Gatwick
  

  Sonnets from the Gatwick is a series of short video-documentaries originated from the Gatwick Private Hotel, a rooming house in Fitzroy Street, St Kilda.

• News from the Future
  

  It’s an exercise of shared artistic creation. A game in which one player (a person or a group) starts by creating the first detail of a news article dated on the future. The second player (ideally a group), must complete the rest of the story. A detail can either be an image or a title. The player who provides the first detail also selects the date for the news-story.   The first set of News from the Future has been dev-eloped by the Outsider's Guide, as part of a research on di-gital media and its influence on 21st century societies. The game is inspired by a statement by communications’ theorist Marshall McLuhan, author of terms like: “global village” and “the medium is the message.”
  McLuhan defines the artist as “the antennae of society” or as humankind’s “early warning systems.”
  News from the Future is an invitation for you to play the artist and foresee the future through the eyes (and words) of a fellow creative mind.

  If you want to fill a story, you may send the text to outsidersguide@gmail.com or you may download the larger images with no title and design it yourself. If you want to submit an image of your own, you may also send it to the email above.
