The Parcel Project

The Parcel Project is a collaboration of Johannes Bellinkx and Studio Daan Brinkmann. The project inhabits the new collaborative space that In Situ is creating with the UNCOMMON SPACES project the next four years. The idea is to expose the uncommon space that physically connects all the partners, artists and citizens through the perspective of a parcel. A parcel will be around in the network. It has four built-in candid camera’s and microphones that can stream the footage of the journey that its making.

The footage made while travelling will be shown in an installation which looks like a big parcel/crate that you can enter. Inside there will be screens on each wall and quadrophonic sound which enables you to become the parcel itself and inhabit the space that it travels through. The box will also move and vibrate so you will sense the movements of the parcel. In that way artists, citizens and partners could for example show their studio or other spaces they inhabit. It could also be used to send something around like a ‘chain letter’. Every receiver can take something out and or add something to the parcel.
