Collective Synops’s work for the Critical Tourism residency is the creation of a blog that is uploaded from Switzerland and Lithuania for all the month of August 2013. This blog is a platform where the Collective’s members can share their impressions and their experiences about the place where they are and their status as inhabitant and tourist, through their artistic practice.
