Talking Together - Jess Loseby & Tara Noid - Telescope
____________________________________________________________________________________
Mainstream art history has filed the personal and emotional under kitsch and feminist art - addressing everyday experiences. The only "something else" linked to net-art is the technology. I think it is probably not emotional laziness, but an attempt to separate net-art as a different kind of thing. It's a shame, I would regret that ... I think it could be a lot more - its a terrible buzzword - it could be more inter-textual than what it has been told it should be; the influence of film and the influence that's around us, real life. That divide again. Demanding, obsession, addiction - all qualities of the star-sign Scorpio are on my mind and I see them in your work. Being addicted to grapple with darkness? That's who we are as a couple, Clive and me. Partly it has to do with where we come from, but also that we work in the night. In darkness, because of the children, we start work at the machine under fake light, when the sun has gone down. Looking out - the world looks big and frightened. When you look into your inner world that can be dark and frightening as well. The picture I have, still not translated into a piece: Imagine the internet as a telescope the idea is that you look out into this world, but I imagine a telescope that is spinning; it comes in, it goes out, it comes in and so on. The area of surveillance interests me, looking in and out into personal spaces. That goes through my work. |
