RoToR is not us, nor its what we are doing. It is a mechanism that is constantly evolving in relationships that we are creating. RoToR is a heart of an engine - it produces the movement and provides the action.

Once RoToR was put in to operation between Vahida Ramujkic and Laia Sadurní, in Barcelona 2001 it continued introducing different agents, factors and components, constantly mutating its functions and appearances.

In direct and not intermediated action, using own body as a principal tool and immediate surrounding as surface, RoToR is basing its method in one self's experience and processing of raw materials in order to transform herself and its surrounding inciting evolutional processes, opening corridors and ties for the circulation of ideas.

RoToR is never concluding, but opening connections, constructing bridges, between the inner and outer, personal and collective along the slow itinerary through the fundamental environments: Land, Water and Air.

Even disintegrated on different locations, agents fed by and connected to RoToR functions through independent but interconnected missions and explorations in a dislocated way. Local and personal experiences within unknown, abandoned, transitional territories show up as the neutral common ground, a form of support in which the new codes are established to be exchanged and shared.

The final aim is not conditioned by concrete results, but is a sum of intentions that would by itself define the form and structure, where the collected information and materials would be translated, organized, visualized and experimented with for later consultation, upgrading and modification...

After six years of joint experience, RoToR is celebrating its 1º rotation reviewing its practices and methodologies of everyday struggle within three phases of its evolutional transgression:

1º phase: TERRAE : The great adventure had started //

ENTERING UNKNOWN LANDS / PROSPECTION ROUTES OF THE TERRAIN:
strolls, routes, explorations, adventures, safaris, tracking
short cuts, obstacles, construction of temporary structures
BODY IN MOVEMENT TRACING THE EXPLORED SPACE:
jumping, ascending, climbing up, climbing down, balancing, descending
temporary guides of zones undergoing transformation
DRAWING MAPS AS REFERENCE TO THE ORIENTATION:
signalizing 1:1, graffiti, GPSmanual, auditive guides
CREATION OF NEW SIGNALIZATION AND ALPHABET:
zone typology based on personal experience - shared, composed dictionaries
FROM INDIVIDUAL --> TOWARDS COLLECTIVE:
personal experience - collective events
(PobleNOW, Sculpture Olympiad, GPSm, Singing the street...)

2º phase: WATER // Pirates on the board! //

APPROACHING THE LIMITS - CROSSING THE BORDER:
Water - an environment inhospitable for humans
SHARED AMBITIONS - CONSTRUCTION OF AN ARTIFACT
joint action as a motor of group formation
FORMING A GROUP - CREW / Tripulación Pionera -
COLLABORATION - COORDINATION
MANUAL FOR RAFT CONSTRUCTION IN URBAN AREAS:
standardized material of urban development /
Geopatographic map, exotic routes /
FLOATING + PROPULSION rows, sail + DIRECTION rudder + SURVIVAL life vests
= NAVIGATION tests: Zuric (lake), Bristol (river)
PUTTING TOGETHER THE FLOTILLA:
Big disembark Invasion of Forum, Piratas - Paterem
TRANSFORMATION: OBSTACLE => ACCESS:
using street barriers as principal material for raft construction / recycling
(Turn the barierre)

3º phase: AIRE: Lets take the air //

BUILDING NEW LAYER IN URBAN HEIGHTS:
aerial routs connecting different roofs
constructed connections: bridges and ladders / gardening, sustainable energies /
construction of the physical and social platform on the superior level - utopia?
TRANSMISSION - LARGE DISTANCE CONNECTION:
frequencies - communication media- control - access;
antennas WiFi, radio, TV, Internet...
TEMPORARY AUTONOMY - SELF-ORGANIZED EVENTS:
aerial encounters / journeys of AirAutonomy
CROSSING INFORMATION - MATCHING HOSTS AND AUTONOMOUS GROUPS: Intermediating in construction of the creative situation
DISPERSION OF THE GROUP - FLEXIBLE STRUCTURES:
(AAA, AlT-TerraTs, Telechronicas...)
