‘I Witnessed This With You’, August Jade Pearson, 2017
This artwork explores natural human curiosity and invites the audience to interact and play with the space. By using a hidden sensor placed in an art gallery, displayed light boxes are illuminated with a shifting pattern while also creating a complimentary auditory melody.
‘Clothing Crisis’, Erica Deluchi, August Jade Pearson, Lloyd Barrett, Andrew Burrell, 2016
Clothing Crisis’ is a wearable artwork exhibited through performance that aims to highlight, interrogate and ultimately take advantage of the invisible data networks that surround us. By collecting and repurposing a Twitter data stream that exposes fashion anxieties, a system is created from which emerges a generative conversation between audience and artwork. The work is realised as an illuminated garment yelling tweets, and containing elements of unworn clothing collected from people’s wardrobes. It is an exploration into clothing excess that reinterprets traditional items of clothing.
Kinda retro, kinda futuristic automated machine which investigates the power of decision. Exhibited as part of Please Do Not Touch The Art at Airspace Projects
