Description:Q1866

Essay by Bridget Crone. Barham’s video ‘Double Screen (not quite tonight jellylike)’ came out of residencies at Site Gallery and Wysing Arts Centre. In her second solo exhibition at Arcade, she uses rudimentary speech recognition and speech synthesis software to generate variations on a text. The original text was written by the curator and writer Bridget Crone which entered into a dialogue during the Site residency. The title conveys ideas about porous things without defined boundaries or regulations.
