Installation Inspiration

  • GAIKA : Nine Nights – An amazing few nights a the ICA full of amazing multimedia art installations and performances, ranging from hacked phones to cgi screenings and grime performances. These nights really highlighted to me the expansive capabilities of the medium of installation. How we are not bound to anything but space and time when it comes to presenting art.
  • Keith Hudson – Pick a Dub – This is a monumental record in carribean music as it is one of the first concept dub albums meaning that the album flows seamlessly sonically and it utilises an array of psychedelic studio techniques to create vast rich & haunting soundscapes, this is amazing to me as I would like to have my sound installation channel this energy somewhat.
  • Yasiin Bey art installation , I never got to experience this in real life but one of my biggest inspirations artistically Yasiin Bey presented his latest album I the form of an art installation only, I found this an amazing concept as I think one of the beautiful benefits on installation as a means of presenting art is the fact the consumers relationship to the art is a one time event as such , this is a useful tool as an artist as instead of presenting something that transcends time that can always be accessed you are presenting and decorating a specific moment in time , I think that is really cool!
