Archive Remix prints

The Archive Remix print pieces are a continuation of the remix pictures that I have been making as part of my residency at the University of Birmingham’s Research and Cultural Collections. The content that I have been making for that has focused on what can be lost when restrictive copyright is enforced. In keeping more with the themes of this exhibition the Archive Remix print pieces focus on the effect of corporate branding on imagery.

The most central imagery consists of 3D scans of artefacts from the archives of Research and Cultural Collections. These then become obscured amongst the visual barrage of slightly distorted corporate branding, something which might not seem so visible at first.

Artist in Residence Mixer – December 5th

In addition to everything else, since July I’ve been an artist in residence at the University of Birmingham. I’ve been quietly writing about the project over on its own dedicated blog, and on 5th December there will be a chance to meet me and Matt Westbrook, the other artist in residence, in meatspace and discuss our respective projects.
