Okay, so its got to the point now where I might as well have not been even considering owning a blog, as the last time I posted anything was last November (shun). However, the blogging has re-booted, and from now on I vow to keep everyone visually updated on what I am up to.
I have been up to quite a lot since my last post, and with the once dreaded dissertation being finally handed in at the end of last November, I was itching to get stuck into producing lots of hands-on visual work.
Rather than blast you all with hoard of posts, I shall edge them in gently, project by project.
This particular project was a response to the complexity and lack of common sense and
necessity of many systems put in place in our current society. I was inspired by sources such as the militant attitude of the rules of health and safety, the supposed simple and cost-effective energy saving systems employed by british energy companies and inefficient electronic building management
systems. These systems are intended to be there to be beneficial but in the end
prove to make life ridiculously complicated and frustrating without any clear
success of the intended outcome.
By taking visual inspiration from odd machines, mass cabling, meat mincers and
using fruit and vegetables as a means of producing electricity, I have created a
series of functional images which is appears confusing and complicated but
performs a simple task at the end.
