Photo Final

Throughout my exploration of the outside the white cube space I became increasingly interested in these inanimate objects which dictate our every day lives, connecting us all at a certain moment in time. I am trying to portray a connection between the outside space and gallery space. By photographing a set of red lights the motion of stopping at these physically may be compared to the people stopping to look at the photo within the gallery space, it is the relationship between the people viewing and the spaces both outside and inside which I have tried to capture here in a single shot.I may be criticized for the lack of intervention within the site however I consider the lights themselves to be the intervention, a kind of readymade intervention which may go unnoticed or only realized subconsciously. The site is not necessarily specific however this is from a series of photographs exploring major junctions where the relationships take place in and around york city centre.

Any comments would be appreciated, 

This is not the blurb btw.  

Artist with ear implanted into his arm!

Performance artists are known for pushing the bounderies, but one Australian has astonished his contemporaries by having a third ear implanted onto his arm.
The Cypriot-born eccentric Stelios Arcadious spent 10 years searching for a surgeon willing to perform the controversial operation. Artist Stelios Arcadiou has had the ear created in a lab from cells and implanted into his skin
He got his wish after working as a Research Fellow at Nottingham Trent University's Digital Research Unit. The ear was grown in a lab from cells and implanted into the 61-year-olds left forearm in 2006.
Mr Arcadious said he thought art "should be more than simply illustrating ideas." Once the ear has fully developed he hopes to get a microphone implanted as well. The performance artist has become a living exhibit and is planing to install tiny transmitters so people can hear the sounds his arm-ear is picking up. "I hope to have a tiny microphone implanted to it that will connect with a bluetooth transmitter; that way you can listen to what my ear is hearing."

Wayhey!!

Thanks Charlie, they are really good points! Am so chuffed to have one of my photos on the front page!!! and to have all of page 3 to myself. Happy days!! I am definitely going to look into how it being in the paper has changed the meaning, I think its a great way to follow it up.
Thanks again xx

red and dead

hey, well done indeed just seen it all in the press. was thinkin about its new context, now the paper, printed adds another dimension. 'the mystery body being found', adding an eerie relism to your work. i can't help thinkin that the printing of it has definately enriched its intertext but has this manipulated or embellished the work? is its printing in the newspaper this actual coincdental juxtaposition perhaps the work? it if nothing else underlines the truth in your point that human life is so fragile.

good pics x x x

Yay!

Just to let you know I have come into some luck while on my work placement at' The Press'. I told them what I was planning to do for my outside the white cube (with the red tube of fabric) and they said that they might make a story out of it for the newspaper. Will keep you posted as to what happens :)
