Background
Premonition 2037 (2016) re-animates archival recordings, through the creation of a new installation and audio work, including a printed distribution element and was a commissioned project for the 50-year anniversary exhibition of Modern Art Oxford (MAO) – KALEIDOSCOPE. Eileen Simpson and Ben White were one of four artists who were commissioned to make new works, exhibited alongside iconic works from the past, which returned to the gallery from across the globe.
In the spirit of the 1960s project of the MAO, to make contemporary art freely accessible to the widest audience, we produced an archive of recorded sounds –auditory traces of activity in the gallery, available for use by a future public, without restriction and beyond the scope of the current copyright term. Digitized from videotapes and audio cassettes held in the MAO archive - tape hiss, voices, musical notes, audience applause and shouts, recorded at previous public events, were collected together and processed using emerging information retrieval technologies to form a new archive of sounds and the source material for a new audio work, pressed to vinyl, for exhibition. A series of live events took place on a specially assembled platform that occupied a temporary future date – on which invited collaborators (Bambooman, Young Women’s Music Project and Lutto Lento) reanimated archive sounds for live performance. Events were recorded and will be released with copyleft licenses on 1st Jan 2037.
