Anna Barham: DOUBLE SCREEN (NOT QUITE TONIGHT JELLYLIKE) Sheffield Site Gallery

A study by Anna Barham looking at the connections between written and verbal language and imagery and text, this piece features the artist reading a text as her voice is recorded through voice recognition software and repressed over and over on a loop, continually changing.

We see the process, video footage of a UV jet printer, and various motifs of flashing imagery such as an owl, the swirling visual effect of black in as it dilutes into liquid,

Anna Barham: Double Screen (not quite tonight jellylike)


I found this exhibition very interesting, when I went I was not sure how long it was, or what exactly it was about, however I found the longer I stayed the more clearer things became, everything blends into one and the text and sounds merge and unfold gradually.

Barham created a very conceptual and thought provoking piece which I feel I gained inspiration from, the use of text and imagery really interested me, the whole piece keeps you thinking throughout.
