Saturday 10th May: Mall Survey
We set out into Norwich's Castle Mall at 11am to explore performative recording in a public space. Dot attached a DV camera to her leg, filming the floor as she walked, and I attached a contact mic to a cane and dragged it behind me to record the variations in surface texture. The whole recording/walk took 24minutes and has resulted in some very interesting footage/sound, which we will be reviewing tonight.
I have over fifteen years experience as a practicing artist, focusing on intergenerational participation. My projects have taken me around the world, working with groups in Finland, Japan and Hong Kong. From 2015-2018 I worked as Public Engagement Coordinator for Tramway, Glasgow, beginning with the public participation programme for Turner Prize 2015. I am currently a postgraduate researcher at University of Dundee (Psychology), exploring the effect of family art participation on child development, in collaboration with Dundee Contemporary Arts.
