The MediaPackBoard is both a performance assist apparatus and a series of performances based upon: encounters / conversations / video playback on city streets. It consists of a customized ‘backpack style’ rack on which a battery operated monitor screen plays back encounters from a mini-dv camcorder – and variations thereof.
