Compilation series (clear photos)



 Just a quick post of the photos from the "Compilation" series, because the videos don't show them to their full visual capacity.

audio/visual balance?


 Audio visual crossover remains a talked about topic at the moment in contemporary art, I'm interested in how the artist and the viewer deals with it after years of debates around visual bias and value of sound as a medium. There are still stigmas around it (i.e. look to the debates around Susan Philipsz's work in the Turner Prize). With this in mind, this is the first experiment I've come up with using a computer that I took apart, so it still works, but is arranged differently to create a sculpture that I'm hoping will eventually play some interesting sounds. There's lots to play with, incl input and output jacks, a disk drive, but I'm tempted to set that stuff aside, perhaps making a turntable on top, making the needle pick up sound from a CD rom. I hope to balance sound and visual equally.

I was given two weeks to come up with some art, discovered about the neutrino particle in the news and had to do something about it. I wish I could have incorporated sound, but in this case, it didn't need it. Starting to get really interested in science/art combination. More artist/physicist experiments to come, I'm currently making a book of all of my ideas for inventions/sculptures, which is coming soon! Watch this space..
