PROJECT: CAVE

A two-part video installation that the viewer explores by riding a stationery bicycle which powers a projector. The videos will be made from footage that is filmed within the space, creating a site-specific work that is unique to the festival.

About the Artist
Jessica Coughlan is a Newcastle-based artist working in Interactive electronic installation, using low-tech triggers for site-specific projection work. Her interests are based on her research into the ideological origins of installation as a kind of "social" communication, and unravelling the notion of the "passive viewer", particularly as illustrated in Plato's allegory of the Cave.
