from conception to construction

Over the last few weeks, Andrew and I have been talking a lot about how we could take conceptual theories and turn them into practical work that responds to the One Another project. What we've agreed is that, given the format of the 'plinthing' experience (being filmed and webcast) and the time of day I am on the plinth (5am), there are two main components that would work:

1) Durational installation - that is building/making something

2) Spoken word - that is simply having a chat or talking about what I am building/making

The talking shouldn't be a problem; however, I'd be keen for the talking to be conversational with Andrew, so we'll have to explore the possibilities of some sort of open two-way channel walkie-talkie system that can be picked up by the mic on the plinth - otherwise it will just be a one-sided conversation.

The making though - this is probable what we're all really interested in. We've got a fun/innovative idea that builds on some of our pre-existing work, and this week we are going to do some tests to see if it works. If it does, then next week we will tell all and reveal our evil plan to become legends of the plinth!
