ACTION RESEARCH:
“LIVE FEED” PROJECT AT THE NUMBER SHOP
EDINBURGH, JULY 2016

In July of 2016, as my second year was coming to its end, I ran an action research project called LIVE FEED at The Number Shop in Edinburgh. This comprised a 36-hour continuous live video feed to the locales in which the 10X residents from the summer before were presently situated at that time, and streamed live to the street on Pleasance Road in Edinburgh. Almost a year to the date of our initial kick-off to 10X, at which time the seven of us had come together in Edinburgh and caravanned to Gifford, from USA, Zurich, London, and Edinburgh, we reconvened through Skype to livestream one Place to another.

Stephen Kavanagh

Stephen’s practice embraces both social and physical architecture, with a keen interest in the ethos of Black Mountain College, especially the aspect in which the BMC students built their own building sites of learning. Through such collaborative projects as Moveable Feast Bothy (2015), which moved around the city of Edinburgh for 17 days in June, he has been able to manifest the condition of self-built situated learning. His 2-and 3-d work seeks out locations within the built environment that hold fractured histories and memories; exploring absence, presence, destruction, and preservation. Recently, his work has developed into 3 and 4 dimensions– languid cinematic evocations, and time-based events. This year, he will be an artist-in-residence in Catania, Italy, as well as 10 Chances Minneapolis, and next Spring he will take up a six-month residence in Japan.

“A pattern is a single gesture multiplied. Do the things once and imitate that five more times. That entire set of motions is repeated five more time and we’re getting somewhere, crawling around the surface like a floral pattern on a sheet, or weeds in the grass. We’re making the objects meaningless, emptying them out, overwhelming the things with their own appearance in order to object to the assumption that space can be emptied at all, that anything operates as a void. The Lower Order is the bricks in the architecture of a Higher Order you see, and the fly finds its way inside whether the door is opened or not.”
