In ceremony of the closing

In ceremony of the closing of our current exhibition, The Pigeon Wing is pleased to present Alex Thomas and Tom Richards in Conversations with Machines: An Intervention with Ode to the Appliance at 7pm on the 5th of August.

In Ode to the Appliance, the viewers are reduced to spectators watching machine on machine conversations. Embodied through sonification, the sculptures’ interactions speak to a phenomenological agency existing outside of the human. Conversations with Machines brings the dialogue back to man/machine paradigm by focusing on the musicality of the pieces. As such, Richards and Thomas will take control and offer a different dimension to the works’ sonification.

Ode to the Appliance: Against Convergence Culture And The Speed of Technology

Sarah Jury — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 13:58:24 +0000

PSFK’s interview Tom Richards. His current show at The Pigeon Wing is open till 6th of Aug.
“Two principles rule digital culture: speed and convergence (ease of utility). Simultaneously, we often find ourselves frustrated by the most mundane errors in technology because they thwart efficiency — the very reason we use them. Tom Richards is a sculptor working with sound and technology. His latest show Ode to the Appliance, opening at The Pigeon Wing in London this Friday, focuses on the errors that are inherent in technology to expose the inadequacy of our reliance on machines”.
