Info

Edited Variable Messaging, an art installation repurposing variable messaging signs (VMS) to display short excerpts from classified government correspondence, in collaboration with artist David Birkin. Shot in central London, the footage was edited to juxtapose the messaging with the interaction (or lack of it) from passers-by. The piece was part of a/political’s States of Violence, an exhibition in conjunction with WikiLeaks featuring over 15 artists, collectives, and investigative journalists, including Ai Weiwei and Forensic Architecture.
