 | Publication date announced: 12th June 2015: "This is not a book as you might expect. It doesn't offer a theory about cities, rather it speaks of any theory. It is not engaged in solving problems, but it is outraged at stupidity, at the oppressive and anonymous demand that any solid formulation of a problem should be simple. And above all it takes you onto a journey to (re-)discover The City." Featuring Orlando in the Cities – a playful literary odyssey through 2,500 years of Western civilisation by Sebastian Michael. Ludger Hovestadt, Vera Bühlmann, Diana Alvarez-Marin, Miro Roman, Sebastian Michael Applied Virtuality Book Series Birkhäuser, June 2015 ISBN 978-3-0356-0626-3 |

This website has just undergone a major overhaul.
There's a completely new design, some obsolete content has been weeded out and everything else has been updated. And there's a new media page, which contains video and audio clips with interviews and trailers that had previously been dispersed across several different project sites, where of course they also remain available. Have a look around and if you find anything amiss, never hesitate to get in touch. Sebastian returns to the stage as a performer with his new piece The Sonneteer - a play on passion, power and possession, which features the sonnets of William Shakespeare.
Alongside him on stage will be young Actor Tom Medcalf as the two delve into some of the most glorious poetry ever written in search of a possible truth about love. The Sonneteer will preview in London at the Landor Theatre for two nights on 18th and 19th July 2014, before starting its world premiere run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, from 1st to 23rd August 2014. Full details and tickets now at thesonneteer.info Top Story - The Video is out: shot at the legendary Old Vic Tunnels underneath London's Waterloo Station in January 2013, Top Story is now available as an online stream or download to own.
