Artist Talk at 2pm Opening Reception at 8pm, Friday, September 7, 2012 This work is a sculptural, sound and video installation that explores the idea of tapping into the memories, spirit, and history of a once animate creature. The work consists of a series of cast animal skulls, and each skull has a planted USB drive where the spinal chord was once attached. The videos for the piece portray key moments in the animals' past, snippets of video and sound that will imitate moments from the perspective of the animal. The work plays on the ideas of tapping into the animals memories, their energy and their connections to our ancestors. The work comes from thinking about our connections and "Link" to the past and although it may seem as though these animals lives did not influence us directly as we now have access to mass produced consumables, they indirectly aided in allowing us to be where we are today as our ancestors depended deeply on these animals to give their lives so that they could have the nourishment to carry on another day. div.
