THANK YOU & GOODBYE, 2013
Digital Transfer from Super 8 Film, 2 min 36 sec
THANK YOU & GOODBYE 27 September 2012 (2013) is a re-enactment of the performances staged by Bristol Diving School at Supernormal Festival 2012. The /¦/¦§9 series of semaphore performances utilised an army of Rebekah Brooks (NewsCorp) broadcasters to relay the days' top headlines. An overlaying monologue of news reports which detail an acoustic phenomenon associated with the locality of the Bristol area is heard within the accompanying soundtrack.
/¦/¦§9 and THANK YOU & GOODBYE 27 September 2012 follow an ongoing body of research and critical enquiry into populist and consumerist mediums, heterotopias, ‘mise en abymes’ and the self-referentiality of the Internet age and virtual realities.
