The Heuristics Laboratory

Along with artists Georgie Park and Ruth Scott we’ve started a new group called The Heuristics Laboratory. We met during the AA2A residency at Trent and have recently been accepted for a commission for Sideshow, the fringe to the British Artshow, which launches in Nottingham this autumn.

For Sideshow I will be creating a post-production laboratory in an open space in the new Newton Building at Trent. The plan is to perform a series of experiments under the title Telecine, using bits and bobs to make dual purpose installations/gadgets to transfer the film onto tape. Making the usually inaccessible, precise and expensive process of film post-production that is carried out in a dark, controlled environment into an open, improvised learning experience for me, leaving the fingerprints of the space on the final video.

I’ll be blogging my progress on The Heuristics Laboratory site, where you can also see details of Georgie and Ruth’s work.
