Workshop and Exhibition in São Paulo and London
-------------------------------------------------------------
Live via internet streaming

Exquisite Corpse also called Consequences is a collective game by
which words or images are randomly assembled to create unpredictable
results and combinations.
This game is the basis of a series of Steak Zombies workshops launched
in NYC in May 2007. Now Steak Zombies will create a space for
creative interaction between São Paulo and London, where craft will be
celebrated as a live bridge between cultures.
With simultaneous workshops at Tate Britain London and the Sesc São Paulo,
Steak Zombies will create a space that brings together the two countries via a
streamed video conference over the Internet.
Young people from both countries will have the opportunity to collaborate
on a crafting experience where each side produces the parts
of a multi-cultural result.
Steak Zombies has developed a simple and easy to understand system
how to exchange drawings between the two countries over the internet.

The outcome of the workshop will be filled in the online version of the
Exquisite Corpse machine which accomodates the body parts from
the workshop held in NYC earlier this year.
The workshop in London will be held as part of Loud Tate– a festival
for young people, who can participate in a day of live performance,
art and politics the Tate Britain.
This year the theme of Loud Tate is ´Transmute`, celebrating cross
cultural fusion, hybrids and change.
