Good Neighbours

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.

Good Neighbours 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.

Created by affect lab (Klasien van de Zandschulp and Dr Natalie Dixon) in collaboration with Lydia Cottrell. Good Neighbours is brought to you as a world premiere by York Mediale 2020.
