A collaborative installation,The Rapture of Cellular Accretion documents the distanced intimacy occurring in digital spaces via a story about the sharing of an unlisted music playlist between two unnamed characters. The work explores how we navigate complex versions of ourselves as we journey between the virtual and the real, using text, audio, artwork and tapestry to tell its tale.

Lucy Duncombe is an artist, composer and former student of Natural Sciences with The Open University. She uses writing, vocal processing, voice cloning and recording as a modality to understand and extend the voice, testimony and language beyond its ‘natural’ parameters.
Al White is a visual artist based in Glasgow working across drawing, print and digital image. As well as producing artwork within the underground electronic music scene, he also runs his own project, ‘CRUDEX’ which acts as a platform to distribute his artwork.

 

‘Take Flight’ is an installation that explores our concept of home and identity. Conversations recorded with Watson’s father are heard throughout the music where he discusses his experiences growing up in 1970’s Northern Ireland. Various questions are asked, including the effect of political conflict on his sense of nationality and his relationship with the place he grew up. Through these conversations, Watson aims to investigate the differences she and her father experienced growing up in the same place, from post peace to the troubles.

Toraigh Watson produces experimental music, ambient soundscapes and installations, taking inspiration from everyday environments and people’s relationship with place. She blends recordings of conversations, acoustic instruments, electronic instruments and field recordings to create narrative and experimental melodies.
