After visiting the exhibition at Tate Britain i wasnt sure i enjoyed it, so today i went back for a second look and was so glad i did. I realised that the first time i went id not really looked at all.

Witness 2000

Each speaker in the installation transmits a voice describing the experience of an encounter with UFOs or creatures from other spheres. A wide variety of languages represent testimonies from all over the world.

voices... how many people head straight to find a speaker which is the language they understand?

interesting... hear the same witness telling their story through different speakers at the same time as you move around the space.

which speaker dominates? 

room full of people.. become aware of real space when you look round and realise your the only person in the room

no denying that the installation is aesthetically pleasing. dream, space like. alien. technology. science. avatar. pathway through speakers leads to the middle- spotlight. spaceship. 

imagined, real or hallucinatory, the stories i listened to but cant remember. the work, not about the information being told but the whole experience of hearing it... beyond the rational. 

PSI Girls 1999

features imagery from films of girls with telekinetic powers. Synchronized moments of high tension when the girls use their psychic powers to move objects. 

sound... important feature. volume reaches a crescendo, a familiar cinematic device to increase tension, ending abruptly with white noise.

Matilda- unusual to see the scene without hearing the soundtrack, little bitty pretty one, song immediately holds connection with the film. light-hearted in comparison to the more serious, sinister mood of the other films.

An Entertainment 1990

four wall projection was devised as a formal necessity to immerse the viewer in the work and emphasise the horror and violence of a popular children's entertainment.

definitely become immersed in the work especially towards the end... movement of pattern. allusion. 

horror and violence but strangely comforting. pattern, colour, sounds- happiness. youth. fairgrounds. entertainment. play

Nacht- Licht

http://preview.instantcinema.org/eye/422/Nacht-Licht

movement, pattern, position, direction, colour, sound

hypnotic

want to watch it all. fixed. drawn in. change in movement/ sound. refreshing

room size projections? how would that change the experience to watching it on a video screen?

system, process, method to movement of shapes
abstract?

stumbled across this today, just randomly but got me thinking again about what i miss... colour, texture, process, enjoyment, commitment, dedication, involvement, focus, concentration, movement.
all in one painting.

all in any media? any artwork?

The Tidy Street Project

How technology can be designed to change patterns in human behaviour.

Residents in Brighton are taking part in a project that aims to record and reduce energy use. During March and April 2011 participating households are recording their electricity consumption and the results will be displayed publicly on the pavement in a giant chalk artwork.

how else could the information be displayed?

pattern. repetition. information. technology. behaviour. change.

Mark Wallinger. Threshold to the kingdom 2000

stills from video
(video 11mins, 12 secs)
(music Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere Me Deus)


Passengers arriving at London's International Arrivals


music- powerful, religious- allusion to heaven. 


strangely become fixed on the repetitive scenario of arrivals through the double doors. 
music helps move the video but apart from the religious overlay the beauty is in the anonymity of the situation, of airports and people in airports. journeys. lives in transit.
slow motion
uniqueness of each person, their walk, their actions 


'repetitive arrivals are a mix of satisfying, joyous, depressing and just ordinary. As I watched, I looked forward to each new face, each new bit of body language, but the bits are teases that evoke speculation on my part–no answers. And the lack of answers is what keeps me hanging on, waiting for the next arrival.'

Wimbledon Foundation Summer Show 2011

Favourite piece from the show

photograph taken at the exhibition

thin corridor.

video-  shot of a man, from the ribs up, facing forward, moving slowing across the screen.

video acts like a reflection of how audience moves down the corridor. 

movement.

piece could easily be missed, walked past but once down the corridor viewer is in direct contact with the work.

space. body in relation the space

corridor. video. audience participation all part of the work. experience
