Australia's PVI Collective aims to make the city your playground.

As someone who lives and breathes Glasgow, was it fair to bring a healthy cynicism to this statement? When it looked likely the show would not go ahead due to the rain, it did make me wonder what kind of anarchic "deviators" these were.

Part of the Conflux/SURGE festival, this group of performance artists are out to make you question how you view the cityscape and how you conform every day, unknowingly. Armed with some headphones and an iPhone with the Deviator app already downloaded, complete with GPS tracking signal, we head out into the bleak city streets. Meeting the collective's performers en route (who could perhaps up the ante a bit), we throw sponges at the banker, hop across the road in a sack, write a message to the city, have some quiet time, plant a seed and even attempt to pole-dance on Argyle Street and are scored for our efforts. How unusual that is on Saturday nights could be argued, but there are bigger issues being explored here about control, fat cats and the destruction of our environment.

What was most interesting, however, was how the headphones made you forget where you were and altered your normal actions and reactions: sitting on the steps at Goma is something I've never done and twirling round a pole was not exactly familiar either. For over 18s only and with a strict drink/drugs policy, you've probably got an advantage if you're iPhone-literate. Deviator is thought-provoking, challenging and fun. If it's raining, wear wellies and a waterproof, as umbrellas get in the way. Ends Sunday.
