(A digital invasion is like a guided tour of interesting things in your town, including churches, buildings, walls, skateboards,etc and having someone talk about each one on location. All this is videoed , photographed, recorded and shared on social media as much as possible. It's like a sort of unusual digital tourist guide made by all the invaders.)
It was fun to be on - and take part in.
I think it's as well told in photos........( Some of these photos are mine and thanks to all the other people who shared their photos on facebook, some of which I have used.)
the invaders in Pisticci - via sterbini |
listening to how a wall has special significance for the lucania film festival (the green door is the door of my new house) |

the symbol of the invaders...... |
tree planting invaders |
completed my part |
My story in a painting. I spoke in Italian. Then I hope Luigi translated my "Italian" into Italian |
the people have a passion for Pisticci |
lots of people took part. |
Invaders on my bench |
It didn't rain .... and the sun broke through on the mountains |
this is Tursi, where due to the fact that I was painting I was not able to take so many photos........
this was near where I was painting. even on a dull day it was gorgeous. |
even the rain could'nt spoil it |
I hadn't time to finish this before it rained but I will get it done |
there were lots of people........ |
this church has particular significance because of its arabic origins which is why I was painting it. |
