DECORATIVE NEWSFEEDS
GALLERY VERSION / FOREST HILL LONDON / THE JUNCTION CAMBRIDGE
 
This is the gallery version of, Decorative Newsfeeds. Click here for video documentation.

All versions of, Decorative Newsfeeds use a live feed from the web to present up to the minute headline news from around the world as a series of pleasant animations, allowing viewers to keep informed while contemplating a kind of readymade sculpture or perhaps an automatic drawing.
The gallery version of Decorative Newsfeeds is projected onto both sides of a suspended screen so that the 'front' and 'back' of each trajectory can be viewed by a circling audience.

It can also be shown on a screen or as a single projection. What is most important about the work in all its forms is that executes itself according to a set of instructions. In essense it could be argued that the work itself is just a set of instructions.
