ARCHIVE
Raster by David Beattie
- Through the exchange of electrons, Raster explores the interconnected relationships of various materials and elements contained within work. The electrons transmitted by the cathode ray gun inside an analogue transfer to the glass and beyond through static electricity. The exchange of positive and negative charges will remain on an object that comes into contact with it until it is neutralised by electrostatic discharge. This is often experienced as an electric shock when it moves through the human body. Raster explores how this flow of charge connects disparate materials and things displayed within the exhibition.
Range by Cliona Harmey
- Weather satellites over Ireland move in and out of range and are receivable via antenna about twice a day when they come into range of the antenna's line of sight.
Brew na Bóinne by David Lunney
- Brew na Bóinne is a process driven multi-media work comprising sculpture, performance, painting, weaving, digital image manipulation and video/animation. In this work the artist is seeking to create a new relationship between video and wall-based art. These two, mostly disparate, elements contemporary art, Will be brought together using a lengthy and novel process. Although this installation work includes many elements, the video piece onsite during the process period will perhaps become the end product, the raison d'etre of the rest.
We Dream of Point Clouds by Richard Forrest
- Following an interest in re—negotiating our interaction with the world around us, Richard is using the experimental period in the gallery to create a 3D virtual model of the Rua Red gallery space using a process called photogrammetry. By experimenting with our understanding of form, material and space otherworldly virtual environment will be created from physical fragments of the actual space.
Air Corridor by Cécile Babiole
- Air Corridor spotlights the air traffic that mostly goes unnoticed down here on the ground. This work detects and monitors aviation activity in the area above the gallery space. A video screen displays each detected flight number, altitude, speed, longitude and latitude for passing airliners. The sounds of airplanes blast directly into the gallery, hijacking the overhead planes, as it were, out of the surrounding air space and disrupting the art space.
Way Out by Robin Price
- This work presents abstracted computer generated idealised landscapes and an open musical score responding in sympathy to meteorological or environmental sensor data and the movement of visitors and the gallery space. Examining the idea of the countryside as an escape from modern life, both in the recent past through raves and throughout history, the work points to a future where we may only escape digitally into virtual countrysides.
Inter/Face: Facing Reality by Francis Fay of Livestock
- Digital technology us to 'know' much more than before, but does it bring us closer to knowing who we really are? In this workshop performance artist Francis Fay will explore forms that enhance and inhibit our reality, investigating intimately both the physical and spiritual seduction of contemporary modes of communication.
Remotely Human by Cathy Coughlan
- How do we establish connectedness in a 'post truth' environment? An interactive installation exploring the screen as a third party in a relationship between two people: the remote human and its flesh and blood counterpart; or between the public and private self, the piece looks at ways of breaking down this vast digital space, by situating the audience at the centre of the work.
