Description/Abstract:

Online digital work combining interactive phonics and moving image, commissioned by Arts Council England for Tempo Arts.

Each of the four parts of the work will be launched every Friday throughout July 2020.
​
During Covid-19, our windows have given us both distance from and proximity to our surroundings, an uneasy combination of separation and exposure, allowing us to stay in touch with neighbours and welcome changes in season. Normally thresholds for us to open up to the world, they now limit our choices, providing controllable, if fragile, barriers from risk and danger. Whilst recent times have brought isolation, separation and loss, we’ve also discovered fresh opportunities to explore what home means and new digital ways of inviting people into our spaces for celebration and enjoyment. Tempo Arts is delighted to be working with five international artists to present ‘Your Place’, a new digital online project which offers alternative perspectives during the lockdown and beyond. ‘Your Place’ will remain live on the site through April 2021.

Negotiations is a film you can interact with in times of restricted movement. Restrictions on our movements have given us the opportunity to look on spaces in new ways, letting us investigate places we would normally not look at, at all. Locations chosen by the artist are either normally too busy to be able to measure and scrutinise or areas in the midst of the public realm which we normally regard as having little or no significance whatsoever.
​
As an interactive work combining measurements of peripheries filmed, and phonics where each linguistic element was generated through a rule based system devised by Burgoyne. The viewer simply clicks randomly on the moving image. Depending on where you click, a different phonic related to space and language will be activated. As a result the viewer makes the space. Each part of the project that is released each week, will offer up a different means to interact and subsequently produce the moving image/sound dialogues.
