A talk on some recent work focussing on The Underlying that was shown at arebyte gallery in 2019, followed by some works in progress that have developed during two residencies: risk related residency at RADAR - Loughborough University, and the Beyond Matter residency at ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany 2021.
After a short 5 minute break - I then introduce you to the Digital Archive of Artists' Publishing with Wikimedia UK, a project that we launched at Banner Repeater in 2020. A collaborative project, with the support of Wikimedia UK, it is inspired by the site of Banner Repeater’s public Archive of Artists’ Publishing on Hackney Downs train station, with 11,000 people passing a day, in response to the need for a similarly dynamic approach to archiving in an online context.
After you have watched the video we will then reconvene online for further discussion - please bring your questions!
