'There's a tactility to all these installations, which is very different from how you view a piece of video art normally…

That's one of the things I've developed out of the language of the troll cave, which then becomes something completely different in the ball pit, and the squeeze chair, its a physical, haptic, viewing experience, that formally connects with the themes and materials you're viewing, and I thought that was an interesting thing to experiment with. The installations point to all those feelings, of horror and beauty, attraction and repulsion, erotic desire and infantile regression, which are contained within all these fetishes in the videos. The desire to be in front of your computer all day is extremely comfortable but it's a form of torture too. It's both the safest space but you're completely trapped too, and that feeling of being under balls, or stuck in the squeeze chair, is like that.'

Research on artist Jon Rafman who explores technology's impact on the modern mind, particularly in this work, with regards to the internet. Point's of interest are; the use of harvested material and exploration of various dichotomy's especially the boundary between the virtual and the real, and whether this even still exists. The above image, a still from his 2013 video Still Life, illustrates the sometimes extreme physicality at this border.

I found this an interesting side reference with the use and recycling of found imagery, as well as the documentation and presentation of his themes. I'd like to explore using the internet or further my use of technology in some way in response to this, potentially curate some work online. Also explore this polarity (?) between real and online life, and the use of re-cycling found images.

The expanse of media in the online world? The permanence and mystery of my work in an online world? Have an outcome that is a curated online space.
