"Can you cross the motorway using the zimmer frame?"

Now this machine is a spot of genius. Ironically, I don't have many shots of this, because I was too busy playing it!
Think of this as a game of old-person frogger, where the cars are going round in circles, stopping you from easily (but slowly) walking to the bingo/ballroom on the other side of the road.
Instead of mucking around with 3D graphics engines, bugs or code, the way this works is ingenious. Above the ride is a set of concentric circles, each spinning around a centre with the bingohall on it and there are toy cars stuck to each circle. The cunning part comes in the form of a extensible rod which has a small video camera and white plastic blob on the end.
This... is the old person :)
The screen you see in front is actually a view from this camera. The white blob is connected to a microswitch, which changes state if a toy car strikes the blob. A really nice touch is the audio, it really does sound like the cars are whizzing by as the audio is keyed to your and the cars positions.
The best feature is the zimmerframe below (out of shot :() on each side it has bike brakes, which when clenched causes you to 'go forward'. The zimmerframe is made to move up and forward and back again, as if you were really using it like an infirm person, and the camera moves forward slowly.
If you manage to make it to the centre, the view switches seamlessly to sped up video footage of 'you' going into the real bingohall/dancehall and spinning about the floor!

Mobility allows for the uproot of family values. It weakens the sense of home and diminishes the essence of self.
....
Mobility enables one to attain his/her desired physical and geographical freedom. It allows for independence to prevail and knowledge to be within reach.
“I woke up one morning, screaming with pain. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t walk. I was taken to hospital but they couldn’t tell what it was. I was prodded and poked by doctors for years after that. I can’t remember the number of scans and tests I underwent. It wasn’t until three years ago that they diagnosed it as hypermobility. My joints are too flexible, it means I can’t walk sometimes, hence the cane. Everything that had ever happened up to that point was explained. There were so many times where I said, ‘I don’t want to be this person anymore.’ I hated being who I was, I wanted it to stop.
Meeting my partner, having him being so supportive has helped me immensely. I met him through a pen-pal site. Around the time I was really lonely, I was still dealing with accepting my condition. I was sick of talking about it with all my friends, I wanted to talk about normal things. Which we did, and he understood me from the very beginning. He doesn’t know how much he’s appreciated. He’s my best friend.”
A 22-aircraft "freedom launch" took place at Travis AFB, Calif., Sept. 11, 2013. Seven C-17 Globemaster IIIs, 11 KC-10 Extenders and four C-5B Galaxies from the 60th Air Mobility Wing lined up, then launched consecutively over 36 minutes to take part in Air Mobility Command missions. The first plane in the lineup, a C-17, launched at 8:46 a.m., the same time terrorists crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City 12 years earlier.

I saw it again!! This little car is a Semcar Mobility S1, made in China. The Daewoo Matiz-clone, but with 3 doors and a moped-engine. It still has the Daewoo dashboard, but is a two seater.

Plants stay put for life, which could spell doom for a species, were it not for the ingenious devices that they evolved to let their progeny travel elsewhere. This delicately crafted structure parachutes its seeds to unknown, far away destinations. Reinvented by several plants, this wind-dependent mobility shows the constant exploitation by organisms of available resources in their environment. Man discovered equine, cattle, camels, elephants, coal-powered engines, bicycles, gas-powered cars and airplanes to disperse the species to new lands where they can put down roots and survive. Mobility, whatever the means, improves the odds of survival.

TRACING MOBILITY
CARTOGRAPHY AND MIGRATION IN NETWORKED SPACE
24.11.2011 - 12.12.2011
Opening: 23.11.2011
Wed – Mon 11 – 19 h | Symposion 26.11. 11 – 17 h
all events
Tracing Mobility sets out to examine how electronic networks and mobile media are transforming our conceptions of time, space and distance.
The exhibition presents the positions of 16 international artists who trace the shifting terrain of global and local mobility, virtual and material movement. They use varying approaches to pursue the numerous questions of our present's mobility: Where can we escape to when online- and offline worlds converge? What does the movement of a body in a landscape indicate when every point of the earth is within reach through the aid of digital technology? How do mobile devices and media alter our mindset and change our perception of time and space?
By means of installations, videos, performances and paintings, but also in the guise of iPhone Apps, maps and open-source collaborations, we see artists developing strategies in order to position themselves within this dynamic topography and to find possible points of exit.
A Symposium and the Tracing Mobility Open Platform will offer further explorations of these themes via lectures, talks and workshops.
Exhibiting Artists: Frank Abbott (UK), Aram Bartholl (DE), Neal Beggs (UK/FR), Heath Bunting (UK), Janet Cardiff / George Bures Miller (CAN), Miles Chalcraft (UK/DE, Simon Faithfull (UK/DE), Yolande Harris (UK/NL), Folke Köbberling & Martin Kaltwasser (DE), Landon Mackenzie (CAN), Open_Sailing (FR/JP), plan b (Sophia New & Dan Belasco Rogers) (UK/DE), Esther Polak & Ivar van Bekkum (NL), Gordan Savicic (AT/NL) , Mark Selby (UK), Michelle Teran (CAN/DE)
Symposium Speaker: Heath Bunting (UK), Wolfgang Ernst (DE), Tim Etchells (UK, tbc), Stefan Heidenreich (DE), Landon Mackenzie (CAN), Sadie Plant (UK), Hendrik Speck (DE), Hito Steyerl (DE), Michelle Teran (CAN/DE), Eyal Weizman (UK, tbc), Irit Rogoff (UK, tbc), Hubertus von Amelunxen (DE) (moderator), Stephen Kovats (CAN/DE) (moderator)

Around two hundred activists from Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), Disabled Activists Network (DAN), WinVisible and anti-corporate tax-avoidance campaigners UK Uncut joined forces on 28.01.2012 to carry out a demonstration and acts of civil disobedience to protest against the ongoing savage cuts being made to disability benefits by the Coalition Government led by Old Etonian, ex-Bullingdon Club member and ex-PR man, prime minister David Cameron, who has overseen a concerted public attack on the weakest, most vulnerable members of British society - the sick, the disabled and the dying - who are seeing the welfare benefits they depend on to survive slashed at the same time as they have been publicly demonised and branded work-shy scroungers by a compliant right-wing press, in order to slash the welfare budget, which is the Cameron government's only solution to the economic shockwaves caused by the banking crisis of 2008.
Congregating first in Holborn Circus by organizers, the activists (many of whom were in wheelchairs, had guide dogs, or were accompanied by their Carers and Buddies), who had earlier been instructed to arrive with a valid Oyster travel card - were entertained by a samba drum troupe. Suddenly the signal was ,given, and everyone (except the wheelchair-users, who had to find other transport because of the woefully abysmal provision for the disabled on 90% of the Victorian rail system) entered Holborn Underground Station en-masse to reappear at their top-secret destination two short stops away - the large, busy junction of Oxford Street and Regent Street, where they proceeded to spill onto the new Tokyo-style pedestrian crossing before completely blocking all traffic from the North by chaining their wheelchairs together across the road, anchored at each end to the wrought-iron railings at the entrances to the Underground station.
Police looked on, almost powerless to act without being seen to physically manhandle many severely disabled people, and it's very doubtful if they have provision to load electric wheelchairs into police carriers and hold them in custody suites without a huge public relations disaster, so instead they sensibly adopted a pastoral role, doing what they could to keep the peaceful-but-very-vocal protesters safe for the three hours their act of civil disobedience lasted, after which they all calmly dissapated, vanishing back into the underground system and home for a well-earned rest after a triumphant protest.
This is the first time that Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) have had any significant support on one of their direct actions, and being joined by the extremely effective corporate tax-avoidance protesters from UK Uncut was a fantastic morale boost for the battle-hardened disabled activists. For well over a year DPAC has been fighting back against David Cameron's swingeing "austerity" cuts to the welfare budget, especially to provision for the disabled, which are only hurting the most vulnerable in our society. It seems as if the message is finally getting through to other single-issue protest groups that everything is related to everything else. Taking Disability Living Allowance from half a million disabled people, making them homeless and destitue with their considerable physical and/or mental health complications may save the Department of Work and Pensions' annual budget, but the burden of caring for all these people will now fall to local councils, already chronically stretched by huge government cuts to their budgets - and it is widely understood by everyone that it is much, much cheaper to keep a disabled person living independently with State help than it is to reinstate the Victorian Institutions and Hospitals, which past campaigners fought so hard for so long to abolish because of the inherent cruelty in institutionalising the disabled who previously had independent lives and employment but can no longer get to work because the Conservative government has taken away their mobility allowances...
