more about the inter-action and immersion
red cube inter-acts with people on several levels:
i)Its initial impact of surprise and curiosity when it appears overnight in a community –
extra-terrestrial like - immediately creating a new dynamic in
the space.
ii)People may enter the cube and engage as they wish to: sit, share, dream, tap a laptop, tweet, see the world anew through red translucent walls, seeing red clouds and people passing by.
iii)There is also a sense of something much more accessible – the space seems small when viewed from the outside and yet expands when inside.
iv)the cube is reminiscent of the tea hut, a space of contemplation and an opportunity to locate oneself and understand interaction and experience as a part of a greater whole, a web of experience that intersects with time, place, season, mood, person, landscape and architecture.
v)Outside the red ‘hut’, five sheets of perspex will be arranged, differently according to the space, so as to reference the journey through the tea garden, journey of transformation form our from the mundane world of the everyday to the sacred space of the tea hut.
vi)There will be additional inputs that relate to the context and
mood of each space the work will be in.

brings together particular ideas from science, digital technology, philosophy, architecture and art to facilitate sublime works that shed light on our contemporary ecology and being.
this site is both ‘art ‘ and ‘information’ in that it can tell you about what 8 does, at the same time it is created and tended near daily, in a deliberate, ritualised process of re-construction and re-creation, according to mood, season, context,
-a durational work without duration -
a ‘technology’ of the every day,
in the manner of a daily tea ceremony or tending of a zen garden, for your pleasure...
each page is unique: constructed with minor compositional variation.
