Tim Long - A Relay of Joy

Creating a drawing of a figure during the performance and a unique, graphically defined soundtrack determined by the position and intensity of the marks.

The live performance is intended to open a dialogue with the audience, through their engagement with the physical, aural, and graphic assembly of the work. The physical movement of the 'artist' will be aligned with the aural responses of the marks as they are made, eliding with the graphic properties of the marks themselves.

:: Network - 20/11/07 ::

A network is any system of interconnected points / locations, nodes, which become greater, augmented, than when in isolation. While emphasis is most often placed on the nodes, it is the connections / links / lines / flows, the spaces between, the hinterland of the network, and their resulting mesh / matrix, which provides the site, means and context for the networks ability to transfer and transform. Similarly art can be thought of as a space in-between:

"The work of art occupies a pivotal point between two sets of behaviour, the artist's and the spectator's. It is essentially a matrix, the substance between. It exists nether for itself nor by itself." (Ascott, R. 2003, Telematic Embrace)

On November 20th 2007 Open Ear (http://openear.wordpress.com/) hosted an event curated by Garrett Lynch (http://www.asquare.org/) entitled Network presenting performances on this theme.
