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.

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

Christian Marclay- The Clock
Christian Marclay | The Clock, 2010
Single channel video | Duration: 24 hours | Courtesy White Cube
British art show 7. In the days of the comet
The Clock, features thousands of found film fragments of clocks, watches, and characters reacting to a particular time of day. These are edited together to create a 24 hour-long, single-channel video that is synchronised with local time. As each new clip appears a new narrative is suggested, only to be swiftly overtaken by another. Watching, we inhabit two worlds; that of fiction and that of fact, as real-time seconds fly inexorably by.
These clips from several thousand films, are structured so that the resulting artwork always conveys the correct time, minute by minute, in the time zone in which is it being exhibited. The scenes in which we see clocks or hear chimes tend to be either transitional ones suggesting the passage of time or suspenseful ones building up to dramatic action.
when do you stop watching the film?
fixed on film but conscious of real-time
how long did it take to make? production of the work as much a part of it as the final film
endurance- making the film- appreciate that it can/has been done

how we interact
our behavior
environments/situations that force us to interact
the distance/space between us
