Title Making the Unseen, Seen
The work explores consciousness and temporality (as in my relationship with time and space) and the threshold between.
Morgan O’Hara’s conceptual art investigates recording human movement/activity in time and space that connects to my interests in thresholds, liminal spaces, temporality and human interaction with tracking technology. Her work is a form of time accounting and she makes it visible through art.
Developing my work seemed like a code and I was the code breaker returning to the source of my subject, data from a sleep app on my phone. When I re-oriented the composition of the so-called ‘data’, it became clear that I had a room and it needed a door to enter, and then that became the source of the blinding light from outside. Then I could see the ‘dreamscape’.
