Stuart, Oli and I were invited to attend Le Braderie De L'Art (as were our good friends Oi Studio & WeMake), a 24-hour straight design-and-make festival in Lille, in the Nord-Pas de Calais region of France.
We systematically disassembled and re-represented found objects. This performance-process was designed to aid the viewer in changing their perceptions towards common, day-to-day "magic-box" electronic and mechanical objects.
Deconstructing, recording and re-organising the components of an archaic Nintendo Entertainment System:
We also stamped several hundred on-demand badge-postcard objects for visitors to the Braderie, using damaged and abandoned books.

Nowhere/Now/Here
My Experience Value work will soon be on show as part of the cinema program at the Nowhere/Now/Here exhibition, curated by El Ultimo Grito and hosted by The LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial in Gijón, Spain .
The concepts that lie behind the piece - my exploration into the value found by taking risks and generating exposures - can also be found here (re-formatted for web).
