Here's some images taken at our end of year show on Wednesday 7th July. The show was held at 52 Princess St, Manchester and featured the work of MA Media Art and MA Photography. The photo on the top left shows part of Katy Suggitt's installation that makes use of glass vase's and sound and other stuff to explore domestic spaces (you may also be able spy some of Lucy Ridges photography in the background).

The photo on the top right is a shot of the gallery space...and a jolly nice space it is too.

My work is seen in the bottom left and middle. The picture on the left is me attempting to calibrate the movements of the puppet prior to the show (which isn't that easy when you're using a £20 webcam from PC world in really poor light). The picture in the bottom middle is of a visitor looking, in what seems to be a rather confused manner, at my work. Perhaps if she had stood in front of the webcam and jiggled her arms to operate stooge, she would be confused no more.

Stooge - Video




Here's a small video of stooge in action. Its the first prototype of what I hope is going to be a larger scale work - possibly with more puppets, and I'd like them to be operated through the web via the audiences own webcam.

Stooge was recently exhibited in Marmara University, Istanbul in June 2010 where he formed part of the The 5th International Triennial (more photo's of this coming soon)
