Laurence Payot - Action Research Project

8th June, 2011

As part of her Longhouse Action Research Bursary, Laurence developed an experimental project called 'Coincidence'. 

The project looked at connection and networks and took over the town of Runcorn for two weeks.

Each day, Laurence sent a text message to the Coincidence participants tasking them with an action for that day (all of the actions had been decided upon by fellow Runcorn residents). People's participation in, and reactions to, the given actions were recorded via photographs, text messages, diaries and via the project website (link below).

Laurence produced a book documenting the project that you can download a copy of below.
