Sit back, relax, this is a show that comes to you.

Want to buy a house in the future? As security blurs into speculation and the future feels increasingly uncertain, this remote performance explores what it really means to own a home. Unfolding where you live - via a mysterious package, a phone call, and a cryptic website - this intimate encounter brings the deeply personal debate around housing into your own home. Created in response to housing and data research as part of the Data Stories project, at Maynooth University, the artwork is critically tied to the current discussions happening around place and planning that unfold in conference rooms, in political debates, and in our living rooms. Interrogating the notions of housing as an investment and how data is created and used to shape planning (and ultimately places), the work offers a route into these discussions that is less trodden.
