Ideas.


Trying to nail down some thoughts and concepts behind what I am doing...

-Reflecting the slow and and simple movements, that the hand has to do today in terms of technology, contrasted with the hand operated equipment of the telephone exchanges in the 1890's.

-Keeping things simple, representing the hand-operation, and the simplicity of the design contrasts the reality of a complicated system. 

-Fabric pieces and wire - they may (?!) look a bit 'otherworldly' connecting to the present wireless systems and waves that run through our transient and everyday spaces and places.

-Still trying to do things/represent things in MASS, regarding Mark Auges concepts on 'supermodernity' with the mass of equipment and systems/data/telephone calls and the mathematical element I have been working with.

I have been thinking maybe I should push forward with the wire and fabric/perspex in the week, especially as I will be lazering some sheets of fabric in the week, and I also plan to experiment with some ways of connecting wire and fabric/thread/perspex using eyelets/stitch/holes etc...
