WHAT DO YOU SEE?
When I look at these images what I can’t help but notice is the symmetry. So, the objects that stand out are the parts that don’t fit with that symmetry. What my son sees is the player controls from a media player like iTunes or Windows Media Player; the plate recording audio, the triangle was the play button, the cutlery pauses the music. In so many areas of culture, especially dinner, we see what we want to see. We see things through the lense of our history.
This idea for an exhibition is the most exciting one that I have had for a while! It was brought about by accidental necessity too. Or some would say that I had the creativity to see it as possibility. As it happened, along with Matthias my son, I was successful in receiving an Australian Artist’s Grant for the planned exhibition in Darwin. It was then that I discovered that it was to be a gallery where…
So, what would be better than an online exhibition? It will certainly exist but almost completely in virtual space. Since deciding to do this, I visited the Louisiana Gallery of Modern Art in Copenhagen, Denmark. http://www.louisiana.dk/uk/Menu/Exhibitions/Yoko+Ono I discovered that Yoko Ono is one of first artist to participate in internet exhibitions. ‘Yoko Ono: one Woman Show’ is a straight online exhibition presented on the website of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. http://www.artcommotion.com/Issue2/moca/ This was in 1997!
Still, what would come of these humble bits purchased from Spotlight? I guess I was about to find out. Key to this exhibition is the exposed process of ‘making’. It is a lose collaboration between three creative people…each of us artist in our own medium!
My artist friend, Sally Kidall, has a creative son who found on line a 3D Printer program for a mini dinner table ….I was very amazed to see and HEAR this little table come into being…..Here is a recording of the mechanical sound of the printer at work. I think it could be the basis of DINNER’S soundscape. I better ask my music collaborator it he sees the potential too!

This is the image of STACKHOUSE that inspired the Danes to build it in Denmark and include it in Sculpture by the Sea. The problem was going to be how to find similar wood as I made this from recycled Aussie fence palings. They did it and also did an excellent job duplicating it. once I get to Aarhus, I will document STACKHOUSE II as it should be entitled.
So, having used QR Codes as the main form of communication…..how does it feel to be left out of the main-line? No SMARTPHONE – No access! This is actually the way the majority of earth dwellers live…no say. no voice. no resources. no future. no life. Those who have a say, a voice, resources, a future, a life, in short…full access, are THE only hope for everyone.
PS…I don’t even have access to my own QR Codes being smartphoneless!
