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.
