My project to go In Search of Silicon Valley has come to a close. The final outcomes included ‘A Cybernetic Meadow’ – a new installation at The Auxiliary Project Space, Middlesbrough, plus a zine and a talk.
The project has been great. My head was totally scrambled by everything I encountered on my visit; I managed to partially unscramble it and write some thoughts down in the zine, which provided the basis for the talk, and the installation gave me an opportunity to make the online world human-scale and something that we can walk around and through rather than just experience on our phones. I’m looking forward to developing my thoughts and ideas from this project in future work.
You can find links to all the project outcomes, including the zine and the talk, on my website here: www.robertgood.co.uk/silicon-valley. I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
Particular thanks to Lizz Brady who curated my work at The Auxiliary and who helped with the build and put the zine together. A great collaboration which I hope will continue into the future. Thanks also to The Auxiliary and to Arts Council England for making this happen.
