The Burgess Project - Manchester


The Burgess Project was an exciting project produced by the-phone-book Limited,
exploring new technologies, new modes of writing and engagement with new audiences. It was launched during the innovative freeplay strand of the inaugural Manchester Literature Festival, in October 2006, where Literature, Technology & Media came together.

Through the use of Bluetooth and mobile phone media, the public were able to par-take in the Burgess narrative whilst taken on a grant tour, a promenade performance through Manchester that linked several venues across various city centre venues. A full story line and project description can be found online with a link to a video screening.
