My final piece. I 'like' it I think, well maybe. It is as good as I imagined my final piece to be and I feel comfortable showing the work, so I guess thats a good thing. In the end I haven't cleaned any of the piping or acrylic, or moved the celling tiles. It seemed appropriate that I leave the tiles in the same formation as they have been taken out to hang the work as the dust and smudge marks on the acrylic and metal pipe.

I think there is only a few more things to do to the piece now:

Decide where the table should go, should it be in front of the projection?, I think that it should be behind but need to try out possibliblitys.

Find a new way to attach the tubing to the back of mac. So far the the piping had been attached with double sided sticky tape because it is clear and double sided!, although as the mac gets warm the pipe eventually falls off.

Consider wether I am going to title the piece.I think that if it is going to be titled it will be called TB or Tuberculosis.

Clean metal and acrylic maybe?

Decide wether any of the celling tiles should go back in the celling and in what form.Im thinking that they should only be taken out over the top of the work, subverting the work rather than the space.

Then it could be done

I have changed the Youtube vs Vimeos duration to the same length as Elastic Band so that both videos can start and finish simutaniously on a loop. I suppose I have kind of been ahead working in my space, I have had a lot of time to consider changing aspects of the work.For example I was considering adding sound ( the ring of the bell before a boxing match) before the videos started or changing the timing of the videos so that they are never on at the same time, or abstracting the timing so much that it become slightly riduculous and its pot luck wether both videos are on or off. Although after experimenting with these ideas I now know that both videos need to be playing at the same time, so that they have the best chance of being read in the right context. Therefore the simple option has been taken to make work more uniform and slick by having both videos the same duration.

Twisted? I needs to be simple though.

Once again, there has been quite a lot of consideration about how the tubing should hang from the back of the mac. As the acrylic, the tubing is being attached to the centre of the back of the mac to make the piece as uniform as possible, and I think it needs to hang naturally again, 'realistic', although the tubing does look good when it is manipulated eg. twisted, pulled over the corner of the mac.

The piece could slightly be in the corner, is this bad?

I have brought and made a small computer table. When I envisaged what table I should use within the piece, I always imagined something very similar to this. It needed to be simple, clean, small. I imagined the white computer desks that everyone had about ten years ago from idea or Argos, before fancy designs and technology came about. The table is incredibly small, I swear its made for dwarfs, but it fits underneath the piping perfectly and also looks quite absurd.

What to do with the celling tiles?, as the piece has been developing more tiles have been taken out to get to plugs or hang materials, Im not sure wether the tiles should be left as they are, when the work is finished, so there might be tiles overlapping and corners peeping out, or wether the tiles should only be taken out above the work to subvert the work and not the space?

I did consider for quite a while which end of piping should go to each video. Even though it creates nice sculptural forms when the right piping is attached to the acrylic and the left to the mac, it needs to look more realistic than absurd. I shouldn't make it look 'pretty' for the sake of it.

The pipe is going to be attached to the centre of the acrylic. I wasn't sure where to attach the piping at first, because when it is attached to the centre the piping looks like it is hanging from an angle from the front of the piece. Although after considering it for a while, it seems that the piping needs to be in the centre, I don't know where the audience at the show are going to view the work from, if people are going to walk around the piece, the piping needs to be in the centre to look uniform.To attach the piping me and Andy will put a roll of masking tape on the inside of the piping and hot glue gun around the masking tape.

The ceiling is being used to hang to create a collage of materials that manipulate the space and accentuate the videos.

As the work has grow it has actually started to take up quite a bit of space . From the fixed projector to the plug on the back wall. It has quite a lot of dimensions, don't know wether this is good?People have mentioned that it is slightly absurd the work being stuck in the corner, but I 'like' it. The seminar space where me and Andy are working is unusual in in itself. We have quite a few projections going on and there is a large wall with no work on. The absurdity of the curation of the piece only empathises aspects of my practice.

When attaching the piping to the metal, ideally i wanted to be able to ruche the piping at the top of the pipe to excentuate its form, although the piping wouldn't stretch enough. But after taping both materials together the stretched and pulled and bandaged aesthetic seems to work well .If you was going to fix something you wouldn't ruche it to make it look good, its more realistic like this.

This is what the piping looks like 'bandaged up', 'fixed' , The white electrical tape has worked marvellously, it looks ok! It has the balance of bodged and considered that the work needs.

The work seems to be developing very organically, I like how the piping is hanging and the finish of the attachments of piping to acrylic and metal.I was worried it wouldn't look considered enough but I think it does, maybe , maybe its rubbish.

Where the piping has been cut it will have to be 'bandaged' up. I 'like' this though. When it is 'fixed' it needs to have no holes. The pipe needs to present itself as if the 'image', 'air' 'water' is moving through. For example a car exhaust doesn't work with a hole.

Even though the piping has been cut it only just stretches around the metal, to secure the pipe I think I am going to use white electrical tape, which will emphasise the industrial aesthetic to the work so far and the use of technology.

Considering not attaching the tubing to pipe. Doesn't work!

To attach or not attach the ventilation piping to the metal tubing? I have decided in the end that the ventilation piping needs to be attached around the metal tubing that is hanging from the celling. The piece needs continuity , a flow and needs to explicitly show the connection between both of the videos.I have cut the plastic between the metal in the tubing to stretch the plastic around the metal tubing that is hanging.

What is going to be hard about this piece, is making all of the joins between the ventilation piping and the mac and acrylic, clean / and look calculated; using the materials from around the studio such as electrical tape and masking tape.

I suppose, I have known for a while what I want my final piece to consist of but never could really envisage what t would look like, I never knew how I was going to use the materials just knew why I wanted to use them.For example I knew I wanted to use ventilation piping to 'connect' both Youtube vs Vimeo and another video either Poppy of Geoff.

I want all of the materials in the space to hang naturally, the industrialised aesthetic of the work has to be softened by the curves of the ventilation piping and cables.
