to catch up on some of the work i’ve been doing, i’m posting a link to melanie jackson’s work, a global positioning system, which was part of her exhibition at arnolfini, bristol at the turn of the year.

I did the sound for the movie which you can see online: a global positioning system

quoting from the press release: “In her exhibition at Arnolfini, Melanie Jackson explores how ideas, people, products and raw materials circulate in our increasingly mobile world. She is inspired by news stories, that describe inventive means of getting by, of survival beyond the odds: and uses a combination of animation, drawing, sculpture, film, video and printed matter. How can we make sense of all the places we read about but probably will never get to, and what are the networks that have linked us together?

Shown at Arnolfini for the first time, her new animated work A Global Positioning System, 2006 deconstructs a hand-held GPS satellite positioning unit, tracing each component part back to its source. In doing so, Jackson reveals an incredible journey through the rubber trees of Sri Lanka, the tin mines of Congo, and the production lines of China, to the palm of your hand.”
