One Square Mile (with Sam Meech)
A short instructional video containing some easy steps for how to rightly read an area. By following this process carefully, you will be enabled with a Valuable Dataset which will allow you to clearly define any locality towards redeveloping a brand new sense of place. Invest this time and we’ll push the boundaries, survey the contents and help write a policy that works for you…
Chris Paul Daniels and Sam Meech employ absurdist methodologies to explore environments, architecture and communities within one square mile of Media City UK – Northern England's broadcasting beacon from which narratives are edited and distributed. The film celebrates the area whilst critiquing the notion of culturally surveilling, and drawing conclusions from, an arbitrary space.
