Original artwork description
Performance: I asked 20 people to open the notes app on their phone to their most recent one (that they would be happy to share). I copied these down onto different A5 sheets of paper until the page was full or the note was finished. I asked someone to shuffle the notes, they had 10 seconds only (that is was done with hast was important, to only partially randomise the order). Using pens, markers and paint, I read out loud and then wrote each of the notes as fast as I could comfortably.
How do these notes reflect ourselves as a group? A mixture of mundane to do lists, and fleeting moments of poetry are blended together, layered over top of each other. How does the audience as active observers effect the way the words are spoken, written and interpreted?
