On 7th March myself and Lucy Hutchinson will be presenting a small selection of our work for Evasive Manoeuvres at the BOM Live Research & Development Seminar.
During our Live R&D exhibition BOM presents it’s second ever ‘Fellows Seminar’. This event will see all 16 of our 2016 Fellows present and discuss their current research and development. This event is essential for students, designers, artists, technologists and scientists working in Birmingham, looking to learn and contribute to the local, artistic ecology.
During my 2016 Fellowship at Birmingham Open Media I will continue my collaboration with Lucy Hutchinson to further the work we have been producing in response to the growing surveillance culture. We will be devising creative interventions which aim to circumvent invasive surveillance technology.
These interventions will take a variety of approaches and will not be limited to purely hardware/software based response. In one such intervention we will be taking inspiration from the work of artists such as Adam Harvey and Zach Blas and develop a series of masks that can be worn to obscure faces from these cameras whilst making a political statement.
Stealth launched at Vivid Projects on 25th June and it was a great success! It’s the first time I have curated an exhibition or event that has lasted more than a few days, so I’m happy to see that there have been a steady flow of visitors.
