Materialising Time: Developing new methods of visually representing time as embedded in The Seascape

在物化时间中，我将通过一系列我与伦敦的电影和视频伞公司和贝克斯希尔的德拉瓦尔馆合作开发的海景来探索视觉上表现时间的新的和创新的方法。五台网络摄像机将被放置在从马尔盖特到戈斯波特的关键Vantage位置，包括贝克斯希尔的德拉瓦尔馆。每台摄像机都将俯瞰英吉利海峡，取景地平线，形成全景系列的一部分。拍摄地点包括在地平线上可以看到法国的民俗石，以及斯托克斯湾，戈斯波特，诺曼底登陆的控制中心所在地。这个项目建立在我以前的作品芬兰迪亚（2004-5）和格伦兰迪亚（2005-7）分别讨论了被称为硅芬和硅谷的地区的景观和技术创新之间的关系。在物化时间中，我将把这项调查扩展到对英格兰东南海岸海景、时间和潮汐之间关系的视觉探索。在六个月的时间里，每台相机都将传输和存档现场海景图像。这些图像将从图像的上到下、从左到右，在水平波段中连续地一次构建一个像素，这样，整个图像将由在不同时间段内收集的单个像素组成，并记录白天和夜晚的光和运动、时间和潮汐的波动。我将探索在这些数字传输的海景图像中表示时间的潜力，通过研究将构建图像所需的时间与潮汐，环境和天文数据联系起来的潜力。我还将研究这些实时传输的图像被制成材料的潜力，将数字印刷技术（包括3d打印）和动态的、可导航的网络架构的创新应用于不断积累的图像档案中，这些作品将在静止和运动图像、透镜和像素之间保持平衡，揭示图像如何利用光和时间进行编码和解码。我将在视觉艺术中对海景的历史和当代表现的背景下，反思该项目提出的有关海景、技术和时间、远程传输以及抽象与表现的关系等关键问题，以期为这一既定流派提供新的见解。由此产生的作品将被纳入德拉瓦尔馆的大型个展，Bexhill在2009年的陪同下出版了电影和视频伞制作的关于我的像素景观作品。

In Materialising Time I will be exploring new and innovative methods of visually representing time through a series of Seascapes I am developing in partnership with Film and Video Umbrella, London and the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill.Five webcameras will be placed at key vantage points from Margate to Gosport, including the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. Each camera will look out over the English Channel, framing the horizon and forming part of a panoramic series.The locations include Folkestone where France is visible on the horizon, and Stokes Bay, Gosport where the control centre for the D-Day landings was located.This project builds upon my previous works Fenlandia (2004-5) and Glenlandia (2005-7) which addressed the relationship between landscape and technological innovation in the areas known as Silicon Fen and Silicon Glen respectively. In Materialising Time I will be extending this investigation to a visual exploration of the relationship between seascape, time and tide on the South East coast of England.For six months each of the cameras will be transmitting and archiving live seascape images. The images will be constructed a pixel at a time, from top to bottom and left to right of the image, in horizontal bands continuously, so that a whole image will be made from individual pixels collected over varying periods of time, and record fluctuations in light and movement, time and tide throughout day and night. I will explore the potential for representing time within these digitally transmitted seascape images through examining the potential for linking the time it takes to build an image in the work to tidal, environmental and astronomical data. I will also investigate the potential for these live transmitting images to be made material, applying both innovations in digital print technologies (including 3d printing) and dynamic, navigable web architectures to a continually accumulating image archive.Poised between the still and the moving image, the lens and the pixel, the works will reveal how images can be coded and decoded using light and time. I will reflect on critical issues raised by the project concerning seascape, technology and time, remote transmission, and the relationship of abstraction to representation, in the context of both historical and contemporary representations of the seascape within visual art with a view to providing fresh insights to this established genre.The resulting works will be included in a major solo exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill in 2009 accompanied by a publication produced by Film and Video Umbrella on my pixel landscape works.
