June 2015 Electric Works, Sheffield
Behind the scenes at Wincobank's annual Lantern Procession and Pageant.
Each November, on Wincobank Hill in Sheffield, South Yorkshire UK, over 250 people walk by torchlight through ancient woodland and climb up to the hill fort in the dark to watch a re-enactment of the crucial moment in history when Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes handed over the rebel King Caratacus to the Romans, in chains. On the way they see trees lit up by candle lamps, hear the haunting music of the lone piper Helena Reynolds on the hillside, see the University of Sheffield's fiery Iron Age forge and sway to Celtic melodies.

Kristina Andersen: Making Things Strange
"The mainstream technological object is losing its established physical form, and the feasibility of new functionality increasingly relies on our willingness to believe in and accept yet another paradigm or interface. As a result the technology object has become a magical unknown. In a world that already feels overwhelmingly unfamiliar, making things stranger somehow allows me to inhabit that strangeness, as if it was mine."
