Where there’s a will there’s a way. 2017

Installed as part of ‘Let’s Yarding’ by GAPS Curatorial.

The Yard, 123 Grahan Rd, Hackney. London

The Boost Project.

Celeste Prize, Finalist Exhibition 2017.

This interactive, living installation explores how social media allows us to live within an alternate reality; one in which we can easily attain a heightened sense of belonging, or a fleeting state of appreciation. The inflating orb aims to emulate the acceptance and self worth we can feel after receiving ‘likes’ on our posts or pictures online. Each time the orb is followed, receives a like, or is tagged with #theboostproject it gradually increases in size until it reaches its peak. If ignored, it begins to subtly deflate.

The work is activated via tagging #theboostproject, Following @BoostCeleste on Twitter and Liking on Facebook: The Boost Project

FICTIONPIXELS, The Library of The Live or What The Eyes See. 2017 (ALBUM)

An excessive mechanical blending of performing technology, misdirection, moving image, illusion and visual perception constructed to subvert our habitual assumptions of contemporary technology and question the authority of information we willingly digest through our smart phones and computer screens.

The installation consists of a scattered but at the same time rhythmic orchestra of object and moving image. Performing every 15 minutes, the objects collectively play out a series of visual and narrative shifts though moving image and the anthropomorphic, mechanical choreography of two television monitors.

The content of the film plays out the repetitive, excessive rendering of 2 bookshelves trying to render themselves within the digital sphere. As the rendering increases, other areas of the internet begin to render with the bookshelves. Causing a mashup of pop music, mechanical glitches and funny animal videos. This choreography is structured in order to provide the viewer with a consistent shift in boredom, suspense and speed. After a compendium of excessive noise and distraction the monitors are mechanically tilted forward forcing the colour from the films to be expelled as physical liquid from the screen, dripping down the work itself as if crying / bleeding.

These incidents are captured by a tablet computer during a fake live stream. Asking the viewer to explore the notion of the live in relation to the structures of authority in which we place in our contemporary technology.
