For this proposal I will research, develop, build and test a mechanical means by which a random selection of web searches being made by people around the world can be intercepted then broadcast live as an endless 'poetry' for a viewing public. It will be realised through collaborating with Eddie Berg who is the Artistic Director at The British Film Institute (BFI Southbank). I will look particularly at flap sign technology, which was commonly used in the twentieth century as a way of displaying travel information in stations and airports. My aim is to repurpose this kind of analogue technology to display the live virtual data -to offer up a persistent snapshot of humanity, and its needs and wants as played out at every moment on internet search engines. The resulting monumental artwork will be a silent witness but something, which a passing audience can engage with in an immediate and meaningful way either fleetingly or for longer periods. It will be staged for extended periods of time at two of Britain's premiere cultural institutions; first at the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT) in Liverpool and then at the BFI Southbank in London offering two exciting contexts within which this semi-permanent artwork can be tested and evaluated.This practice-based research proposal will develop my career as an artist working with new media and networked communications systems like the worldwide web.

对于此提案，我将研究，开发，建立和测试一种机械手段，通过该方法可以随机选择世界各地的人们进行的网络搜索，然后将其作为无尽的“诗歌”现场直播，以供观看公众。它将通过与英国电影学院（BFI Southbank）的艺术总监Eddie Berg合作来实现。我将特别研究襟翼标志技术，该技术通常在20世纪用作在电台和机场显示旅行信息的一种方式。我的目的是重新利用这种模拟技术来显示实时虚拟数据 - 提供人类持续的快照及其在互联网搜索引擎上每时每刻都播放的需求和需求。由此产生的纪念艺术品将是一名沉默的见证人，但有些观众可以立即以一种短暂而有意义的方式与之互动。它将在英国两个首映文化机构中长时间上演。首先在利物浦的艺术与创意技术基金会（事实），然后在伦敦的BFI Southbank提供了两个令人兴奋的环境，可以在其中测试和评估这种半永久的艺术品。基于实践的研究建议将发展我的职业生涯，作为与新媒体和网络通信系统（如全球网络）一起工作的艺术家。
