The Disjointed Changelog

The Disjointed Changelog distorts the classical fable storyline, referencing coding languages and concepts of innovation in computing history to tell a story of two friends struggling with change.

The video is part of the Trilogy of Painful Changes, which has been shown in museums and at festivals in Europe and the US since 2015.

EVACUATION DRILL

The performance “Evacuation Drill” explores the bodily tension between crowd control, self-improvement and lifestyle. The gallery is between Islington and Hackney in London, which was a frontline of gentrification at the time.
During the performance, participants were split into two groups, training either in relaxation techniques or in crowd control. A DJ set tied the two sessions together with music. On the  sound of a siren, the crowd controllers started to evacuate the group that had just been practising yoga stretches. The music carries on in what’s become an atmosphere of chaos, until the evacuators and evacuees leave the building and the metal door slams shut.

THE REENACTMENT

“The Reenactment” is a video art piece by artist Caspar Below from 2002. It features four artists who were paid £5 to follow his verbal instructions for half an hour. 

The video starts with Caspar Below giving instructions to the four artists and then asking them to follow instructions, which turn out to be re-enactments of seminal video pieces.  

“The Reenactment” is an interesting take on how we view art, its creators, the means of production and pay.

THE DROWNING OF BAD ADVICE

In 2009 I ran a number of events (“I Told You So”) for participants to deposit bad pieces of advice they had received at some point, and which they’d like to rid themselves of. I offered the a service to receive this piece of advice from them, but also offered the additional service of symbolically dispatching the bad advice through a ritual of their choice. The drowning was one such ritual, which took place after a group walk with some of the participants who had volunteered their bad advice.
