Deze performance vindt plaats in samenhang met Jubilee's collectieve onderzoeksproject 'Archipelago of Artistic Practices', ondersteund door Kunsthal Gent. Het ontrafelt vragen rond de online counter-mapping tool Eavatea die wordt ontwikkeld om efemeer en gesitueerd artistiek onderzoek te benaderen vanuit het perspectief van delen en traceren, dialoog en ontwikkeling, archief en activering.
“Blueprint came about through a collision of many different ideas. I was reading about the politics of musical improvisation, thinking about the social aspects of urban growth, toying with the idea of a sequel to my animation City of Progress (2008), and discovering the technique of making blueprints in my studio. Somehow all these ideas stuck together. I realised that this wasn't a project I could do on my own so I enlisted the help of musicians with a long experience in improvising and using graphic scores. I interviewed them about their music and how it related to their everyday lives, made tests and let them perform with them. Blueprint is the result - an attempt to make a composition in the form of a hand-drawn animation, which facan be played by an orchestra, a punk band, a jazz quartet or by children. It's a film that is different every time.” - Artist Justin Bennett about the Blueprint
