Hello everyone,
I’m just back from Scunthorpe, where I have been installing/performing a
new networked video piece at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre as part of this
wonderful exhibition curated by Michael Szpakowski called ‘We are Not
Alone’. The show is about how the Internet changes our relationship to
each other as artists (in the most expanded sense of the word). I have
reposted the info from Michael below.
My piece is called Time Is Speeding Up (see here
http://gtp.ruthcatlow.net ) and it started out as a meditation on how it
feels, as I get older, that time is speeding up.
However as I have watched people interact with the work, I have found
myself thinking more and more about the relationship between, clock-time
(locked into the Gregorian calendar) and machines, technology and
accelerationism.
...and how clock time translates all our 'natural' cycles of moon and
sun, and breath into a linear, additive, medium- hurtling towards death.
Connected with this kind of time is financial time, data time etc etc.
I’ve so enjoyed seeing how visitors disrupt this cold time with jokes,
performance, goofiness, sentiment, advice, prediction, messages, and
play. I wanted to share them with you....See here
