This video was part of an installation called Timescape. It was shot in VAT 7, an abandoned Guinness warehouse near St. James' Gate in Dublin. For one month this video looped on old TV screens placed in the basement of VAT 7 where they could be seen and heard through grates in the footpath outside. This was the first stage in a longer process, explained further at vimeo.com/2670093

"Timescape marks a transitional point for Vathouse No. 7 and it's surroundings. Using video footage as raw material; sensor, image manipulation, and networking technologies are the creative tools, as the movement of viewers, on the street and in the gallery space, become a catalyst for manipulating, collecting, and compiling this footage to generate a final organic print.

Timescape explores the themes of access and evolution in the redevelopment of the Liberties by bridging gaps between systems of alternates – past and future, interior and exterior, private and public, passive and active audiences, static and dynamic art, digital and organic processes.

By challenging these traditional relationships Timescape becomes a piece whose creative influences lie not in the processes and inspirations of an individual artist but in the collective participation of a community responding to its changing environment."
