PILOT is a hybrid activist convergence taking the form of a do-it-yourself television studio. Rejecting more passive models of conferences and demonstrations, we invite you to take part in 4 days and nights of participatory, creative problem-solving to rethink how we “stage” protest. Help us turn a three-story Chicago building into a fully functioning hollywood studio, replete with fantastical sets, collaborative crews, and improvised madness.
Stage a panel discussion as a talk show, lead a workshop as a cooking show, get behind a camera, sew a costume, party all night, or just show up and get involved in the conversation. PILOT will be an open-ended space for those of us involved in the global anticapitalist movement to come together in sweat-space, build momentum, and strategize our biopolitical resistance on (and off) camera.
As the last vestiges of public space, natural resources, and community-control are bought-off, our bodies will continue to be the final line in the struggle for autonomy. Join us at the PILOT laboratory for 4 days of fleshy resistance, aesthetic experiments and tactical performance! Trespass the corporate control of media with nomadic TV, pirate radio broadcasts, and guerrilla drive-in screenings! Visit the PILOTWOOD sign and help make a “Walk of Flames”! Enjoy parties, community meals, and finish the weekend with us as we RECLAIM-THE-STREETS as an on-location shoot FOR OUR TV PILOT! Do things on camera that you could never do legally in real life!
The PILOT TV convergence is a non-hierarchical, no-budget event currently being organized by a loose collective of trans/genderqueer activists, artists, and fence-cutters. Please get involved! All resources, skill-sets, and ideas for collaboratio nare welcomed!
