Participants were the young people of Moss Side Millennium Powerhouse youth centre
QUESTIONS EXPLORED IN ‘MULTISCREEN SUPERSTORY’ :
What is the ‘local culture’ of a room of 5 young people and their phones? what methods can be used to support the develop their own ‘local culture’?
Is there personal and artistic value to be found by young people in producing home-made, situational brainrot?
Can we combat the decline into post-literacy by creating a shared nonsense language? Or is this just a way of contributing to that decline?
Can collaboration be taught?
