Landmark Mission

Launched December 11th, 1700h CET the Explo 01, the artist and the Explo Transportation Unit headed across town towards Landmark. Due to the rough terrain, self propelled transportation was impossible. During the hour long trip, the Explo raised many eyebrows and successfully logged into an open Network to broadcast a short status update.
Arriving on target location the Explo was met by Trond, logged into the Landmark WLAN and started streaming live video within 20 minutes.

The Documentation Unit glitched and recorded only black uncompressed videos before crashing completely. Later that night I got it to work again, sort of, and recorded some blurry 50 minutes of the opening slowly turning into a party. Also, the turn-table started to break down.

All self documentation modules failed, but luckily some of the people at the opening took pictures and shared them with me.
