Showcase Cities at Richmix, Shoreditch (18th Jan 2012)

Many thanks to Rohan Samuel for pointing me in the direction of this! And also to Marc Farrington for allowing me to exhibit in this exhibition. I met loads of interesting people, hopefully interested in future collaborations. It was good to get a gauge of how audiences would approach it, particularly given that the intention was that they'd be able to pick up all aspects of the work, indeed they are necessary to complete the tin can telephone piece as it contains a recording of a tin can being opened. Once people felt they could pick it up there was a range of responses from confusion to a slight addiction to the escapism is gave them. Lots to ponder for future works...Might have to think up ways to make the spectator know they can touch the objects.

Video coming soon of this piece, I'm filming it on Monday 30th January.

"Audible Inventions"

"Audible Inventions" - a comprehensive document of all inventions thought up to combine sound and sight in an attempt to break down traditional roles of objects and spectator. Whether indeed they exist or not or could possibly exist I leave to you to decide.

Computer record player

This is the finished product of all my efforts to create a record player from a computer. More interesting visually perhaps than aurally as the sound created is mostly the motor noise, however it did bring up problems in displaying work of this kind. In the end an extension of the piece became the most viable, as the computer became almost a plinth that had minimal function, therefore an extension of it couldn't hinder it. But then with this in mind, why have the computer at all? A simplification may be in order, but it was fun to break a computer, show its innards, which is far more interesting to view than plastic casing in my opinion!
