You Are Not Here is a dislocative tourism agency. Participants use two sided maps to navigate the streets of one city while walking through the streets of another. When they reach an area marked as a hot spot on the map they find a sticker or a sign that refers them to a telephone number through which they can get an audio guide of their required destination. Download a map on youarenothere.org, take your phone with you and go tour Gaza through the streets of Tel Aviv or Baghdad through the streets of New York.

Kriegspiel

In 1978 the French Situationist Guy Debord designed and fabricated a board game called “The Game of War”. Thirty years later RSG is proud to release a new free online computer game inspired by Debord’s largely forgotten work. We explore the contradiction between Debord, a symbol of radical politics and art in 1960s France, and the Napoleonic war game he created. In Debord’s own words the game was the only thing in his entire body of work that had any value. Was it nostalgia, or a vision of things to come?

You are welcomed to download the game from the website for free.

Liminal Spaces is an on going project – a set of conferences examining notions of urban spaces, borders, mental & physical segregation. For each of the 3 programs (2006-2008) a reader was made – a double sided book: one side for the information and table of content. The other side was a notebook for all the attendants to take notes and ideas during meetings.

Graphic image made for the 4th Activism Festival, held in the city of Lod. There was a need to address each section of the population in they’re own language. 4 posters were made: Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and English ones. Keeping the budget concerns we managed to cut costs by using the same yellow plate for all four of them. The people portrayed in the posters are the city’s residents and when the posters being placed one next to each other, a panoramic image of a great assemble of people.
