Discussion in England
Member: Glenn Davidson, Masaki Fujihata, Maki Ueda, Noriyuki Fujimura
Date: Sep 5, 6, 7 1998
Place: Mancester + Liverpool, UK
Aim: to exchange the idea about the workshop for sharing the interest for the ocean/sea/coast/beach
Ideas we have talked:
Idea1: Beach Combing (as in the Workshop Proposal)
We scan the beach with the custom stick(handheld scanner) and collect images from the beach. These images are immideately sent to the gallery in the city via internet and will be printed out continuously. Together with this we also have the possibility to make a paper sculpture as to "wrap" the beach.
Idea2: Beach Scanning with GPS camera
We take photograph of the beach from the top with the camera that GPS
is attatched. Then the all the images will be united afterwards according
to the each image's GPS information. This can be with the videocamera as
well.
Idea3: Camera with wheels as a monument and roll around
Idea4: Oil filtering on the beach
Using some kind of technology which can find the oil materials on the
beach - "oil on the beach" is something ambivalent. --->needs research
Idea5: Spilt Oil Swap Exhibition with the Fishing Boat
We rent a fishing boat for a couple of days and will show up
from the ocean. The workshop will only be informed where and when in advance.
We sail along the coast.
Idea6: GPS buys floating from Wales to Ireland
Custom buys with GPS can be monitored all the way floating from Wales
to Ireland on the current. It can evoke the reality that these two
countries are sharing the same current.
Idea7: 3D scan of the object - shells, rocks, etc.
Idea8: Observing small invisible creatures with the video microscope
Idea9: Collect memory of Oil Spill from resident people - photos/videos
Idea10: Sound - small microphone to hear the small sound that
people cannot hear - sand, wind, waves, etc.
Idea11: LSI Camera
Key Concept:
-to remind the former beach
-conciousness art
-communication
-disembodiement the embodied knowledge
-contrast of private eye and public eye
-unwrap the beach
