Contact Drawings
Contact Drawings, 2021
Media: Digital Image
Contact Drawings is an ongoing project culminating of real-time global contact recordings.
Created during lockdown, when communication was almost exclusively through digital devices, I began to explore many of the telematic architectures we as humans employ to communicate globally.
Looking at ‘Dxing’, the amateur transmission of non-commercial messages globally to make two-way radio contact with distant agents, I was able to transcribe real-time data of these global exchanges as they happen in the world.
Substituting a global geographical map for a white background, each thread made emphasises not where they occurred in the world but rather on the shifting compositions themselves. These contemporary drawings, although digital, concern physcial interaction; as they instigated by globe agents collaborating in the physical world. Each line, begins and ends with a human on an international level, irrespective of their nationality or cultural identity; ultimately, and unknowingly, informing the shifting composition through their interaction.
