I’m interested in how my project investigating the experience of the train journey from Marden to London could be interpreted if I read it from the perspective of Marc Augé’s Non-Places: An Introduction to Supermodernity. Here’s what he says about […]
Having collected some data and recordings of the landscape both from the beach and the woodland I could begin to process the data and play with some of the digital toys at the colony. The day was spent working with […]
Our brief for the week was to make a video on Baltic Signs, however I totally missed that there was a title to the project however some members of the group misheard the title as being Baltic Science. This seemed […]
Tactics: take 30 seconds of film either side of the still. Play it at normal speed, freezing it every 1 second to draw the skyline. I don’t like the mark-making in this – too controlled – lacks expression More […]

‘A Digital Suicide’ is the term that refers to the elimination of one’s information online – namely social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. The project undertaken over the past year and a half, has been the documentation of […]
I have been completely inactive on this blog since returning to the studio after the Aarhus exhibition. This is down to a couple of things: first a holiday with the family after the show, then after returning to the studio, […]
My survey film has a still shot where a man-made structure is fixed in focus against a speed-blurred, haunted background. Inspired by Rachel Lowe’s ‘A letter to an unknown person n.05’, I cut 30 seconds of footage either side of […]
