Ben Kinsley entertains with sea adventures, the poke orchestra, and a banjo sing-along \\\ *Office of Collective Play


Artist Ben Kinsley started his visit tonight with a reading from "A Year with Swollen Appendices: Brian Eno's Diary," a text about play, improvisation and collaboration. But the fun had just begun. Ben talked about his works including organizing a maritime themed play, uniting a medieval battle society and a fantasy metal band, making music with his face and body, and coordinating a Google Street View like none other.

And last but not least, Ben finished the evening with a sing-along of some favorite songs from Iceland locals. (Would you believe Britney Spears fits in there?)--Cassie
