13.10.07 Vigilance
Vigilance is a location-specific installation sited in two vacant shop units at the Duke Street entrance to the mall in Barrow-in-Furness.
The form of the work is derived from the curved bow of the Vigilant, a Vanguard class nuclear submarine built in Barrow.
The intention of the work is to make it appear that the submarine has dropped onto the building. However, instead of demolishing it, the building has adjusted itself to accommodate the shape of the hull.
This work was been produced as part of FRED 2007 in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
28 September - 14 October 2007.
It is also included in VELOCITY, a festival of digital art and culture stretching from Barrow to Lancaster run by Folly.
11 October - 3 November 2007.
The work was produced with financial support from Arts Council England.
Vigilance is a physical manifestation of data collected from the internet (the dimensions of the submarine) with the intention of creating a form with the appearance of mass and the possibility to cause displacement.
