Three two day workshops, each led by a different artist using different models to make and think about making artwork.
The results of the 6 days culminated in an exhibition of sorts.
Soon to be released as a publication and manual to be passed on for the workshops to be repeated so that the project can continue and evolve.
I myself took part in two of the three Shiftwork shifts, the first led by Keith Farquhar and the second by Sarah Tripp...
Shiftwork: Shift 1
Two teams of four.
Blue vs Green.
Stage 1
Two of each team stay at base, with a computer and a mobile phone.
The other pairs go out into the world with a camera phone.
The teams at base are given an arbitrary image. They must find as close an image as possible on the internet, using Google image search.
They then choose a word from the web page of the found image and text this to their team mates out in the world.
The pairs outside then must take an image on the camera phone that is of/or related to the word received by text.
This image is sent back to their team mates at base.
The process repeats again and again until time is up.
Stage 2
Each participant is given a number of images, taken by the opposite team in Stage 1
Each participant must then go out into the world with a camera and bring back an image that resembles their given images as closely as possible.
