Drawing Conclusions - The Science Mix 1982

A precursor of much recent scratch work. The tape recuts and fuses two adverts for washing machines; one from the 1950's, the other from the 80's. Using only this original source material the tape creates a dialogue between two media visions of a technological utopia - both equally absurd and disturbing.

Speech Marks 2004 (7)

Speech Marks was shot entirely on a mobile phone, and edited digitally. The scenes are a collection of moments drawn from life; an art opening, a day in the garden, a meeting at work. Using the phone in this way to transmit pictures instead of speech harks back to the early days of television, when low quality images were sent by phone lines in the 1920s, by the Scottish TV pioneer John Logie Baird. These primitive stuttering images and lo fi sounds celebrate the everyday.
