A giant Slide Show created by Artist and Photographer Adam Faraday in which we are looking for everyone's involvement - send your photos and images of the first installation 26th Jan - 1st Feb, by email or post to us for inclusion. This will be an interactive slide show of still pictures of the first week's installation by Blackout Arts.
Photos and images sent into Blackout Arts by the public, via post and email
will be incorporated alongside the pictures commissioned by Adam Faraday.
The selected images will form a slideshow of the Tollgate building and installation
from a variety of locations around Bristol, detailing the vastly different
subjective viewpoints the public have of the building and installation.
Probably the last documentation of one of the most notoriously visible and
interesting 'Jurassic' structures to dominate the Bristol skyline. Love or
hate it - the 'Concrete Bible' has made its mark on the cityscape, but will
soon be rubble.
Definition: A looking to, or preparation for, the future.
Photos of the installation should be sent to image@blackoutarts.co.uk to be
included in the slide show, which will be exhibited on Tollgate House on 2nd
February.

Adam Faraday is a documentary photographer and artist. The commisioned work he produces for organisations, publications and individuals is informed by a constant thread or theme throughout his personal work as an artist; exploring photography's influence on our retrospective perception of events, people, time and place.
A live performance of music and visual generation. Vi make marriages between sonic passages and visual structures. This is done as a raw process of voltage oscilascope across each channel in a pure analogue mix. The visual elements of these marriages are architectural and waveform based being instructed in their form precisely BY the sound. The experience is a literal embodiment of the composed sequence, drawing ones gaze in and fusing the mind and ears together.
The music uses vintage hardware that produces the highest tonal quality audio. Prehistoric and lugubrious, savage yet tender, Vi performances are never the same, new pieces are made for each show.

This short filmwork sees the breaking apart of the Tollgate building as part of an organic process - a process of continued 'stabilization'. Larvae that decompose generate stability from disorder - and take new life into the bargain.
