This nomadic installation was developed from the many thousands of seemingly
intangible images that momentarily appeared on the walls of the 'snow'
exhibition in 2003 and the audience reactions to them. Several messages
were received referring to what people had seen, heard or imagined. This
led to the distilling of ten images from the six weeks of footage, these
ten visual pieces travel to diverse social and cultural environments,
where people are asked to name the 'untitled' works.
The feedback will become the raw material forming the basis of the fourth
and last work in the 'cardiograph' series. What is sought here is the
immediate reactions as anonymous, handwritten text. This content is currently
being collected and it will return as thoughts, memories and imagined
scenarios to the public domain, by exposition of the titles and images
together in the final sequence of the 'cardiograph' series. This process
can take many forms depending on its environment, though the core methodology
of individual reaction to the ten images is always
present.
The first experiment began here on the Internet. If you would like to
participate please click on this contact button
which will open your e-mail. Then type numbers 1 to 10 and describe your
first thoughts when you saw each image. Please use the minimum amount
of text necessary to express your thoughts. There is no need to take time
over this, your first impression is what is required. The information
supplied remains anonymous and will be added to the reactions of other
individuals who come into contact with this project. The most recent versions
of this work have taken place at The Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin, Portlaoise
Prison, a disused bank in Belfast city and 'Night of Art' in Vaasa, Finland
(Aug 2008). Thank you in advance for your time, information about the
development of this work will be posted on this site.
