The Transit of Venus comes around very infrequently (it last happened in 2004 and is next happening in 2117 – read the brilliant Dr Suzanne Aigrain to know why it's scientifically important), so to coincide with the transit on June 6th this year Super Collider organised a group of twenty people to come together at Floda31, a remote innovation lab / farm one hour north of Umea in northern Sweden. I was lucky enough to join the gang (I snuck in under the radar, as almost all were artists with projects up their sleeves linked to the transit) and here's my quick representation of the variety of actions undertaken over the last few days – it was definitely a time and place for doing. I don't know how they'll come together (whether as an exhibition, event, publication, blog etc.), but I'm sure that Super Collider will be presenting some of the finished projects over the coming weeks and months – and if they're not invariably excellent then I'll eat my hat.
