Black Country Voyages Guide To Nature In The Black Country
February 2015
Ikon Gallery, Birmingham
A publication created as part of our work with Black Country Voyages. Visitors to the BCV narrow boat were asked to paint their favourite animal, plant or other natural phenomena. Designed by us, the book takes the form of a spotters guide using the images painted by visitors as the illustrations.
It is available from the Ikon shop.

Black Country Voyages
May 2014 - February 2015
Ikon Gallery, Birmingham
Black Country Voyages are a series of projects run by Ikon Gallery focusing on work with their IYP group based on a canal boat. During 2014 and early 2015 we were the lead artists on the project, working with IYP and the public to produce paintings of wildlife and natural phenomena. These images formed the basis of a sculptural installation on the boat, They were also made into publication which is available from the Ikon shop.

I Am The Warrior
10 May - 6 June 2014
Ort Gallery, Birmingham
This instalment of our open exhibition project took place at Ort, a gallery space and cafe in Balsall Heath, Birmingham. As with other versions of the project, the exhibition was open to anyone who could bring their work to the gallery during the run of the show. The exhibition was constantly growing as people brought artworks, objects and other items they had made to the gallery. We also held an I Am The Live Warrior event, where the audience drew the performing bands Swoomptheeng, Alex Paulee Juno and James Brough. These pictures were added to the exhibition.
A video of the project can be seen here.

Reactor Halls, Primary, Nottingham

The piece grew out of our open exhibition project I Am The Warrior.

Welcome to Happy Redoubt
6 November – 15 December 2013
King's Cultural Institute, Somerset House
A collaboration between staff and student at King's College London and ourselves. The project took the form of a post apocalyptic marketplace. Visitors undertook arts and crafts activities at the request of the robots running the marketplace. They earned currency which could be spent in the market. King's staff and student worked on the development of the project and ran stalls, performances and events during the exhibition.
A King’s Cultural Institute commission, in partnership with UP Projects.

The Two billionth, one hundred and forty-seven millionth, four hundred and eighty-three thousandth, six hundred and forty-seventh
Laser cut board, acrylic paint
6 Sept - 6 Oct 2013
Commissioned by Locws International for Art Across the City
The title of this piece refers to the largest number that most computer systems can use as an integer for, amongst other things, dates, which could lead to the ‘year 2038 problem' - a possible technological disaster.
The piece is based on the idea of survivors of a catastrophic event brought about by the 2038 problem trying to understand the technological world that came before them and using nature imagery to interpret it. In the same we that we use figurative imagery to name elements of computer systems, such as Wizard, Demon or Bug, and we use graphic conventions to represent data visually, these survivors are creating a cult around what they perceive as the lost data of the previous civilisation. The birds are like system Demons or Bugs, distributing or pecking away at data objects represented by the geometric objects.
Blackbird in Infospace
USB audio download trail, sculpture, music download available here.
23 May - 22 June Exhibition at MOVEMENT 23 May - 20 July
Commissioned by Turning Point West Midlands in collaboration with the University or Worcester, Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum and Movement.
This project took the form of a download trail that visitors could travel around collecting a specially made piece of music at each venue on a USB flash drive. The songs, created by our band Juneau Brothers, following a period of research in the city and relate to the history of Worcester. One track, A Story of Recursion, was inspired by the black swan pillow of Sir John Beauchamp’s tomb in Worcester Cathedral. A story about Beauchamp describes him appearing in a field near the city when he was supposed to be away on a crusade, claiming that he was carried home by a black swan, a bird unknown in medieval Britain.
The download shrines were made in opposition to our 21st century insatiable worship of new technology and the instant download and were temporarily installed in five of Worcester’s most distinctive destinations: the city’s architecturally renowned Georgian Guildhall; Worcester City Art Gallery; The Hive (the newly opened, first joint University and public library in Europe); MOVEMENT ( artist-run gallery on Worcester Foregate Railway Station); and Rise Worcester (the city’s only independent record shop).
Audio samples for the project were recorded in locations in Worcester suggested by local people, such as the station platform and the museum rooftop.

The Infocalypse Stack
22 February 2013 - 23 March 2013 Ceri Hand Gallery
The Infocalypse Stack was an exhibition of work based around a post-apocalyptic narrative.
Survivors of an apocalyptic event, known as the Infocalypse, try to imagine the technological world that came before them through folk art, rituals and fragments of the lost technology.
See posts below for details of the works.
See notes on the ideas behind the exhibition.
Works from The Infocalypse Stack
The Wanton Phreak, The John Shade
Acrylic on paper, projected animation
These animations depict small birds with a geometric object, relating to the idea of organically stored data. The Infocalypse survivors believe that data has been stored in wild animals after the loss of digitally stored information in the fictional disaster that makes up the backdrop to the exhibition. The shapes refer to a depiction of three dimensional data objects, similar to the ideas of virtual reality in 80's Cyberpunk novels such as William Gibson's Neuromancer. The survivors believe they can regain this lost information by engaging with nature through ritual behaviour. (see also Data Ritual necklaces)
The paintings displayed make up the frames of the projected animations.
