about

A version of this track was originally produced for a video work made in response to the riots of 2011 that took place in the UK.

The Riot Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1714, the first year of the reign of George I, and came into effect in August 1715. It stated that a group of twelve or more people, “being unlawfully, riotously and tumultuously assembled”, would be read a proclamation; they must disperse within an hour, on pain of death. The same fate would befall anyone preventing the reading of the proclamation, or damaging buildings while on a riot. The Act was repealed in Britain in 1973, but a version is still in force in Canada.

The reading of the text was sourced from the LibriVox website (acoustical liberation of books). LibriVox asks volunteers to record chapters of books in the public domain and then releases the audio files back onto the net for free
