MKVH [The Screenplay], 2007

MKVHcover.small.jpg

MKVH (The Screenplay) is a book that documents the project MKVH (Milton Keynes Vertical Horizontal) a work concerned with our use of oil, transport infrastructure and global heating (called global warming in 2006) that took the form of a 39 hour coach trip around the road grid in Milton Keynes. In the social sculpture a group of 9 volunteers were driven around the grid until their coach ran out of diesel. The book includes transcripts of conversations that happened on the coach, drawings, diary entries, photos, news articles, a fictional soundtrack and GPS drawings of every shift. Each page of the book represents 15 minutes of journey time. MKVH (The Screenplay) was published by Milton Keynes Gallery in 2007.
