is an exhibition of interactive sound work & a distributed performance event, a cheerleading rehearsal, a celebration of conversation and a temporary community of practice. Based upon emerging models of crowd-sourcing, the event aimed to explore how we might share a sonic language in order to facilitate individual thinking to a collective level.

I invited those attending to take a seat at the Spirit Rally committee table and fill the art space with speech. Listeners were also welcome. The rally was an invitation to become part of a temporary committee, to reclaim the act of co-participation and contribute to a live collective sonic experiment. The work formed part of the my ongoing research in the relationships between communities of practice and natural, human & social collective capital.

The work was first presented in June 2010 as part of Sonic Peripheries in Bremen, Germany.
