I’m showing drawIslands() at REDgallery in Hull, 30th of September to 24th of October, open Wednesday-Saturday 12-4. Opening 25th of September at 6pm.
From the publicity:
“drawIslands() is a function that creates islands. A procedural performance that makes drawings of imaginary coastlines. The performance uses receipt paper as reels of film that are hand wound through a ‘projector’. During the performance islands are drawn before being fed underneath the camera, creating a ramshackle, pen and paper analog to a graphics programming demo that were put on cracked copies of computer games in the 80s and 90s. The resulting drawings are a meditation on randomness, computer-like repetition and an analogy between coginitive functions and natural processes: psychogeology. Originally performed and produced during a residency on the West coast of Finland, near the Finnish Archipelago.”
Please come along to the opening I’ll be performing/making the work (and there’ll be free wine…)
