The way the world works - Katie McElhoney

I was inspired to make my project “the way the world works” by the works of Nam June Paik. The sculpture of a television represents technology, viewers can look inside the TV box, and see a model of the earth. This portays the beauty of nature isn’t always seen because humans are too fascinated with technology. On the screen of the TV, there will be a projection of a stickman storyboard, which is a simple animation, this is contrasted with the technology used to make televisions.

My piece was inspired by Nam June Paik’s TV garden, I particuarly liked the way he made nature and technology work so well together. I decided to make a tree which has an ipod inside, but with only the screen being visible. The video played on the ipod is bright and colourful and I have chosen audio which fits with the theme. The impact both nature and technology have on each other should be clear in my work.  

Anthony Ryan - UV Painting

My work is consisted of a collection of photographs created by UV light.

Inspired by Nam June Paik’s later work, the image’s capture trails of light by using long exposure on a camera in a room in complete darkness, then using a UV light, create random designs.

This was then made into a collage with Electronic music overlaid to create the atmosphere.

An Evil Nature by Kyle Daniel Limbert

My work is a battle between good and evil. This has been done because good and evil are a representation of nature, the reason for this is that all living things have evil and good, but get the choice. So I am using two people to represent these choices. I have represented the technology with cars, a train and the effects I put on the video. This is to make a point of how technology has evolved, which means making a video that looks slightly silly and boring into an interesting piece of work. The reason that my piece is linked to Nam June Paik is because, he is a man who created a piece of art from a Buddha statue, a television and a candle. Even though Buddha’s detach them selves from the world, this one keeps a television with a candle in it, and this is what inspired me to create my own piece based on choices.

Jonathan Orme - Television Emotion

My work shows how television can make different people react in different ways. Some people find romance movies boring, others find them to be heart wrenching. My video shows my personal reactions to these videos and challenges the audience to to feel their own emotions and reactions in response to the clips.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

PRESS RELEASE

E.O.T (Evolution Of Technology) Live!
9^th February 1:00pm – 4:00pm
FACT, Liverpool, “The BOX and other locations around FACT”
FREE Entry

Students Takeover FACT, With Their Talent!

Working in partnership with FACT, A class of Knowsley Community College, Creative & Media students are putting on their own expressive show, based upon the current Nam June Paik exhibition, taking place in Tate Liverpool and FACT. 
The group of students have been asked to plan, market, produce and perform, a show. This is part of their second unit “Show” which is about learners being able to work “in the field” with media, this unit is about creating a show from the ground up, so it involves the class coming together as a working unit, this will allow them to work as a team to put on the best show possible, two overall project mangers (chosen by the students for the students) oversee the whole process of the team. Each member is asked to present a personal idea that can be created to display and at the same time, help taking part of the marketing responsibility, making use of all types of medium to present the show, such as radio, internet, press, newsletters and word of mouth. Not only are the students being asked to present the show but as part of their work write about the process and workings involved, such as looking at locations, idea development, researching types of shows and looking at the units inspiration “Nam June Paik”.

The show is called E.O.T Live! An interesting and new show, that is a once in a life time experience.
E.O.T Live! Will be displaying art works/installations from some of upcoming minds of this generation.
Don’t miss your chance to see this one-time-only show, it is only happening once!      An indication of what you will be able to see follows:

“The Steel Man Project” by Chris Leech
“The Steel Man Project” is an original piece of music that has been composed by the artist, it is a guitar only piece of music.
The installation will be a live performance/projection. Chris will be playing the piece live every hour and half past the hour.
On the wall will be a projection of the sound waves, produced by playing. This is designed to give the effect of being able to “see sound”.
This location of this piece is as of yet unconfirmed.  

“Paper Dress” by Rachael Bradley
This is a sculpture, it is a mannequin wearing a dress made out of a paper image, the images are of a person wearing a paper dress made of newspaper. It is essentially a dress within a dress. This concept was inspired by Nam June Paik’s, TV’s inside TV’s.
This piece will be exhibited in an undisclosed location in FACT as a stand alone sculpture

Unnamed by Same Bates
This yet to be named piece is a video, this will be played on a screen somewhere in FACT, The video is of Sam applying her daily makeup, to represent repartition in daily routine. The video will be the same short clip on loop, this is based on Nam June Paik’s video of someone doing and undoing a button on a coat. This shows that simplicity and repetition can be effective and shows the realism of repartition in our lives.

These are just a 3 of the 13 pieces that will be on display, each piece will provide its own original take on a piece by Nam June Paik, showing his influences through unique works.
One of the main aspects of the show is diversity, as Name June Paik created a wide range of art works, these are currently available to view in FACT and Tate Liverpool, Name June, has created nearly everything you could imagine. From music scores to installations, to videos, to TV people!

If you’re a fan of art, or maybe you just want to investigate new talent, I strongly recommend coming to visit, E.O.T Live! Feb 9^th, 1:00pm – 4:00pm. I

“For me, E.O.T Live! Is a chance not only a chance to display a piece of my own music, but add a unique twist to it that changes it from a piece of music into an somewhat artistic installation. E.O.T Live! I think could be the show of a lifetime, I’m a honoured that I have been given the chance to present a piece of my work, (and the overall show) at FACT, which is a fantastic location to be allowed to display in. I think the wonderful range of art lined up for the show and the fantastic locations will really complement each other, to make a really, very good art experience.”
