Virtual Redundancy

Redundant items of computer technology are carefully taken apart and the individual components are arranged in a series of geometric configurations across the floor of the space.

A camera fixed directly above the floor filmed the process (in stop frame) and each days take was processed and sent electronically to a venue in Brazil. The film will be projected onto the floor of that venue and around this virtual image further components from disassembled technology will be arranged.

As the image on the film changes the physical arrangement will adapt. During the exhibition images of the installation showing both the projected and real will be returned to Nottingham and displayed in the gallery. The installation here may respond to these changes and the new arrangement returned to Brazil, resulting in further changes.

The event in Brazil will last until the end of November, for the last two weeks of this I shall work with Total Kunst in Edinburgh. using the same images sent to the gallery where they will be displayed, accompanying these images will be detailed instructions enabling participants in the gallery to start a new deconstruction installation. As this evolves images will be returned and further instruction sent.
