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.

Coprinus comatus

The Pink Pony Express has arrived at our 3rd destination – Kolenkit, Amsterdam.

In Detroit where the local government has all but disappeared we visualized emerging social networks sprung from economic crisis.
In Heerlen we dug deep to reveal initiatives and networks operating freely from the local government – which is hijacking and institutionalizing them before they can stand up and walk on their own.
In the Kolenkit government is loving the alien by inserting artists that hopefully bring status and allure to the hood.. we'll see how we fit in.
The Pink Pony Express investigates and visualizes social structures that emerge from extreme urban conditions. We're looking for them. Are they associated with the smoking shoes on the barbeque, or the wild mushrooms?
