A journey across Europe (and back) collecting love songs
Bristol-based artists and studio residents, Action Hero (Gemma Paintin and James Stenhouse) travelled through 33 European countries, over the course of 6 months. They clocked up a massive 32,000km and collected over 700 love songs, sung by ordinary people from Finland to Greece, Spain to Norway and everywhere in between. These songs are now broadcasting 24/7 via a network of 'beacons', placed at borders and edge-spaces across the continent.
Developed in part via a residency at Pervasive Media Studio, Gemma and James return to the Pervasive Media Studio to talk about their journey, love and the future of Europe.
