Drawing from a dream…
October 31, 2009
I am considering drawing my ‘dream city’ perhaps in a form of map or plan. I imagine it would be of some interest to see it mapped out. I have awareness of getting from one place to another in some instances but not in others. In making it clear in a a diagram it may in turn make it clearer when I am dreaming. I possibly will then figure out that it is actually a real city that is only unrecognisable as this city in my dreams. It may also be a city I have conjured up in my subconscious, or an amalgamation of countless elements of real cities I have been to at points throughout my life. I think (most likely) it is a union of everything I take in on a daily basis. The things I hear but am not conscious of hearing, see but not conscious of seeing etc and also the things I am cognisant of in my life.
Another activity I have been undertaking recently is paying attention and taking notes when I would normally remain in my own little world. Walking to the bus stop when returning home from college I would more often than not be thinking about something random, possibly to do with the day in general or the one to come. Whatever it was I have been ignoring that and listening to the fractions of conversations I hear when passing people and jotting them down. (See the last post for an example)

Question and Respond / Respond and Question
October 14, 2009
Question and Respond / Respond and Question was an interactive installation by myself and Andy Thomson. The work happened last Wednesday and consisted of 10x microphones, microphone stands, amplifiers, headphones and people. There was also a tv with a live feed of the room, a dictaphone, a laptop with a live feed and a camera taking shots by remote. Things were set up so that each person could speak to and hear someone different. Conversation is pretty much impossible.
Although conversation was pretty much impossible it was incredible how long people stayed in the room. Here are some photos of the work.
…and some timelapse
We are hoping to make a website which will recreate this work online. We are not sure how to do this exactly so it may take a while!
