BIO
Caspar Below is an artist experimenting with our relationships to communities, technology and power.
Previous projects have involved audiences in re-enacting crowd control, finding new parent memories for orphaned family photos and answering a multitude of inquiries via text message as the SMS Oracle.
He set up pirate radio broadcasts in a Northern Irish village and used secret filming to map the no-go aura of governmental buildings by stepping into its sensitive zones. More recently he collected bad advice and disposed of it in a series of cleansing rituals as well as running workshops training South Londoners in DIY techniques of urban mass evacuation.
