About

A mobile cinema tour. Inspired by an article in the fall 2009 issue of Cabinet, "Remix Redux", by Emily Thompson (http://bit.ly/a3RfoU). This article outlines the occurrence of subversive, creative experimentation by silent film projectionists when they were given the charge of syncing albums to film reels. They learned how to sync sound and visuals manually and would sometimes play the alternative soundtracks to the films sent by Hollywood. Urban Caravan is a project that imagines how cinema could look today if that type of experimentation and 'mash-up' had continued, and also what if it was combined with drive-in movies, and put on bikes!
