Remember Tomorrow

MACHINE (Mark Klaverstijn & Paul DuBois) leave their messages in the city spaces of Moscow and Ekaterinburg.
MACHINE was already active in Amsterdam with their project BeamMobile, a truck driving around the city that produced words projected by beam onto buildings and facades in various parts of the city - creating temporary messages on the surface of the architecture in a specially designed systematic font, moving like a continuous neon-message, or a light graffity that only exists in that one moment.
 
Now MACHINE has created more permanent signs in the city by painting walls with the same fonts, calling car drivers that pass by to "remember tomorrow". These typographic wall paintings are part of a short term high intensity poetic campaign that MACHINE currently carries through in Moscow and before in Ekaterinburg. Gradually more and more of these messages start to appear in the city space. Alongside small stickers with short phrases and statements, sometimes repeating the phrases from the bigger wall paintings leave trails through the city. They remain until city cleaners have removed them from their accidental locations.
