Impending Unrest by Jorn Ebner. Impending Unrest was produced by Radar artist in residence Jorn Ebner during his stay at the Harris Library, Preston (UK) in October/November 2010.
"It is a website that is made up of a collection of videos, sound recordings and pdf notes that reflect my individual approach to existence, to a city. It is also a stand-alone Flash projector file that can only be accessed in the Harris Library, which utilises some of the photographic and sonic material on the website. I reacted to things I found, things that related to my life, things I found interesting: these included aspects of labour history in Preston, aspect of film history in England, and my date of birth." The structure of the website is a reaction to the physical library research experience. We expect a library to be up-to-date, but that is often at odds with the historical weight, content and fragility of the material in the library. As such, Jorn's work questions how we navigate information structures, through a website that is both unexpectedly simplistic and confusingly disordered. Radar is an innovative programme of digital artists' residencies in public libraries across the county of Lancashire, in the North West of England.
