Alice Tuppen / Point. forty
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 - Mon, 03 Feb 2014
Venue: Phoenix Cube
Point. forty is a digital artwork that engages audiences through physical interactivity. The use of participants 'objects', serves to performatively trigger filmic images, sounds and interviews. The objects also function to draw the audience into momentarily 'touching' the participant's life, whilst simultaneously offering the conceptual space for self-reflection.
Alice Tuppen's artistic practice explores notions of intimacy, identity and communication. Interactive technologies connect video, performance and sculptural artworks in specific locations, navigating through mediated, actual and imagined landscapes. The work assumes a dialogical space, positioning the audience, artist and artworks as both participants and observers, poised somewhere between immersion and more self-conscious, knowing states. Such embodiments seek to understand individuals' life experiences and offers space for conversation, contemplation and connection.
Point. forty forms the final phase of Alice Tuppen's MA in Creative Technologies at De Montfort University.
