| Residency Overveiw
Calum Stirling has increasingly worked over the last two years
with digital media in the creation of sound, video, radio, world
wide web and photographic works combining aspects of new
media technology and traditional sculptural practise in an
examination of the apparent connections and contradictions in
the relationship of high to low technology. His eclectic use of
materials and methods in the concept and construction of work
has often been in informed by an interest in the parallel creative
and social languages of architecture, design, science and
popular music culture and the nature and role of visual art in the
context of site specific locations.
The artist originally submitted a proposal to create an orchestral
work employing the forest trees as the sound source in a live
sonic event within the forest. (see music page for event details
and documentation).
During his residency he also carried out a number of other art in
context projects using the backdrop of the Grizedale and the
surrounding area as inspiration. (see off line projects). |
