CROSSED

Only a handfull of images developed for the poor title shelter. I called it crossed and these images are part of a bigger picture: podcast, performance, various experimental videos. It must have a narrative.

I'm ready to start painting again, starting next week

iconic character, iconic ending, extremely inspirational for me

dDISPATCHES

TORTURE- Dispatches had a really interesting programme about Iraq's secret war files. What I was most shocked about was the conflicting reports of violent events, violent events that more often than not involve and native. Whats also shocking is my naivety to this fact. The torture that went on with soldiers, soldiers who are meant to be there to free a country of its tyranny, fucking disgusting. 

Zabriskie Point - Exploding Stuff

The exploding stuff are like moving paintings, i like the idea of a continuous evolving piece.

CUBE GALLERY


"We live in a time where sugar heavy urine excreted by patients with diabetes is now being utilised for high-end Whisky export. This workshop is designed to help you understand your changing body and how shifts in our demographic may result in new ways of funding our retirement. Large amounts of sugar are excreted on a daily basis by type-two diabetic patients especially amongst the upper end of our ageing population. Find out how you can be part of this unique project, which has not only medical, but sustainable benefits."


I had a shot, it was damn good, and bloody strong. I like that the designer, is a researcher also and created this work that good have real world applications.

RECORDERS Rafael Lozano-Hemmer RECORDERS Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

"Recorders is a solo show from ambitious Mexican-Canadian electronic artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, which showcases two world premieres and four UK premieres revealing his ongoing interest in misusing surveillance and biometric technology to create platforms for participation. At once playful and ominous, his work questions utopian attitudes towards interactivity and virtual identity. He is an anarchic whistleblower of the sophisticated devices that control and construct us today. The highlight of this solo show will be the new commission People on People, which will turn the gallery space into one of the world's most advanced scanners, using high-resolution surveillance cameras and custom-made face recognition software."


Relationship with technology. Everything we did was now part of a database.

KINEMATIC UnSpooling Projectors

5th October 2010

greenroom, 54-56 Whitworth Street West, Manchester, M1 5WW

"Featuring a cacophony of performances with some of the world's leading exponents of live and improvised cinema. Kinematic is a night of electroluminescent cinematic performance with artists fearlessly trail-blazing through the saturated animated imaginary. Featuring Ben Gwilliam and Matt Wand, Kerry Laitala, Sally Golding, and Greg Pope. Closing the night will be a surreal late-night television show and a psychedelic insurrection from Cartune Xprez, who employ live video tricks, futuristic office furniture to explore a mashed-up future of TV programming."

I went, my eyes, ears and generally my soul we invaded. Interesting premise and I appreciated the dedication in what has obviously been practiced. Came out hurting though, still don't know If I liked it or not. Maybe I won't anytime soon.

PHOTOS FROM SHRINK RUN THROUGH ON SATURDAY

SHRINK: Lawrence Malstaf

Part of the AND festival
Got this work through emails sent out by John
I'm assisting a performer, get inside the PVC cocoon, make sure they are safe and comfortable, close up the PVC turn on the machine, watch over them as they perform. 


I've got some amazing photos that I will load onto the log as soon as I can.
It' a very dramatic performance as they move inside, lights is thrown around the plastic, and each subtle movement becomes dramatic. What is more impressive is that it looks as though there is no air inside.  There are two pumps, the large on is connected to a a vacuum cleaner (simple) once turned on it draws the air out of the PVC. There is a second tube that the performers have above their heads that sits outside the cocoon. This acts as a current, fresh air is constantly being pumped through, so you can breath easy. 


Inside it has been described as comfortable.


The performances are open o the public on Monday 4 and 6 pm and tuesday at the same times.
