Tate Exchange – Digital Ascetic

January 12, 2017 by Dave

I will be presenting my research at Tate Exchange in Liverpool on Monday the 16th of January at 1pm. I’ll be talking about how asceticism can be a useful part of a digital practice. To get to this we need to look at how asceticism has been co-opted and altered to mean something else, something […]

Create Your Own Local Wireless Internet

November 1, 2016 by Dave

Asceticism is about desire, and specifically how you limit that desire. In relation to digital networks that might consist of making your own, albeit limited, network rather than plugging into the endless fruity possibilities of the www.  I decided to try to do this. After some research I decided the best way was to try […]

OPEN Form – Porcine Reversal – Bergen Assembly

September 13, 2016 by Dave

My research into digital asceticism has led me to experiment with creating an local, open wifi network as an 1:1 scale platform (see previous audio steam post for more info about what this is). This is a network that anyone in the vicinity can access. It is hosted locally, so has a limited geographical range. […]

I’m presenting a paper titled Becoming Invisble: Towards a Digital Ascetic at Kings College as part of (In)Visible Cultures conference organised by the Center for Media and Creative Industries. It draws parallels between the tensions inherent in the 11-12th century catholic church, between form of life as advocated by St Francis and rule of life […]

TV on the Internet; Bergson Inside and Outside the Interface.

December 21, 2015 by Dave

Earlier this year I wrote a text inspired by a 1980’s twilight zone episode called Wordplay. In it a salesman loses his grip on language, words stop meaning what they are supposed to and mean other things. Apart from being hilarious, it was interesting to me as it looks at what happens when concepts become […]

Looped Resistance Band Videos

October 2, 2015 by Dave

So the investigation into visualising variability continues with these short videos of women demonstrating how to exercise using resistance bands. The stretch of the band is no different, for me to the expansion/contraction of the central ‘image’ in the Met work  of 18,000 images in size order (although nothing really expands, the screen is fixed […]

Distractions 1 to 4

September 25, 2015 by Dave

For a good portion of the summer I’ve been exploring simple actions/reactions ‘mediated’ by objects. Now have a big backlog of footage that appears to be breaking down into short videos. Here is a short compilation of four. Part of the challenge, like working with a sheet of blank paper, tinfoil or a piece of […]
