The French artists strapped themselves into a suspended rotating chair and spun in the air, playing elevator muzak last night. Hilarious. Definitely enjoying their working process and energy in the gallery, never quite know what will happen next. The river of blood seeping through into the replica space is quite interesting too...

Meanwhile, latest bridges update on my favourite new interface.

Green Bridge, Brisbane Cable 8

Mega Bridge, Bangkok lifting gantry

It's so beautiful. I had hours of fun trying to find the F60 coal mining bridge near Lausitz, and Mega Bridge in Bangkok, eventually tracked them down. Love exploring the relationship between sound and place this way. As a memory, a tracing, an audio story from the past, that seeps out from the names and lines on a map into something present.

Coming to terms with the irony of current profile, it's all part of the picture now. Found a fragment of the riverbank in Bangkok that had been repeated and grafted across the river in google maps satellite view. That's kind of how I feel. Almost exactly lined up to join the dots, and match the colours with numbers... but slightly displaced.

Spinning.... spinning..... spinning.... spinning
