The Observatory Project: Time Scales

Scheduled between 2pm and 6pm on Sunday 1st August 2021, The Observatory Project conducted a public observation with equipment provided by the Generally Relative Acoustic Mass Sense Society (GRAMSS). Utilising the new Adaptable Sound Interferometry Equipment (A SINE), members of the observatory carried out an experiment seeking to not-measure the effect/affect/no-effect of mass on a field of elastic sound for a duration of 44 minutes and 21 seconds.

Motion of a Particle World

For the installation Crystallising Universe (an iteration of the Channels project), experiences in and around the space were recorded for a week before the installation was open to the public. These experiences feed back into the work, predominantly through a spoken text titled Motion of a Particle World, 2016. The movement of winter light; rain coming in through the leaky windows of the building (the floor had to be mopped twice daily); the foreclosed department store Forlongs poetically positioned across the street and slightly concealed by the thick branch of a large tree so that it almost read forlorn; the disorder of the gallery's storeroom-come-office; all became entangled in the experience of the work.
