From September until Christmas 2011 the Pink Pony Express will be around in the Kolenkit. This project follows our previous work in Detroit and Heerlen.

The Pink Pony Express is a four person interdisciplinary team dedicated to the investigation, and visualization of social networks. Usually, these networks operate undetected, and escape traditional political and media radar.
The PPE seeks out 'soft data'. Soft data is information which is too sparse, spread out and nuanced to be mapped statistically. Soft data is often overshadowed by hard data, which can be analytically useful, but often presents a too general, incomplete and sometimes negative image.
The basic strategy of the Ponies is ‘research through making’, with every exploration taking material form. These forms occupy, or are brought back to the places under study. What is returned may not be immediately recognizable to the members of those communities; their work thus gives back what was never possessed in the first place.

GREATER DETROIT#2

Sunday morning. We shuffle through the back door of the Ruth Chapel. We've been invited to join Sunday morning service by Pastor Diane Chapelle, who is participating in our project, Greater Detroit. Pastor Diane's wisdom permeated the small, warm church; and her sermon about rebirth and resurrection was awesome.
Like every Sunday, worship began with a 'banner ministry'.

Sunday afternoon. We've been invited to discuss our project, Greater Detroit, on Pastor Kathy's weekly radio broadcast Finding Your Destiny. Since we were first-timers, we were relived to hear (according to Pastor Kathy) Jesus was protecting the air-waves. Our conversation touched on different aspects of our work in Detroit, including organizing tomatoes with the Black Community Food Security Network, mapping Farnsworth Street, and growth as progress.
