Joyce Walks

Joyce Walks, 2007, Website.

Joyce Walks is a psychogeographical tool which generates walking maps based on routes from James Joyce's Ulysses in any city in the world using Google Maps. The system prints maps to be used as the basis of walks exploring the city of your choice and generates mashups using pictures and videos documenting these walks to share with other users.

Exhibitions: NCAD MA Graduate Exhibition, NCAD Dublin 2007.

Joyce Walks Tokyo

Joyce Walks Tokyo, 2007, Photographs, edition of 5.

Joyce Walks Tokyo is a series of photographs documenting a walk in Tokyo along routes from Ulysses generated by the Joyce Walks website. Each photograph bears the co-ordinates of longitude and latitude of the photograph's location and the name of the corresponding location in Dublin.

Unreliable Narrations

Unreliable Narrations, 2007, DVD.

Unreliable Narrations is a 12 minute video which scrolls the entire first chapter of James Joyces Ulysses in which all the vowels have been censored. The work is a comment on the stifling and damaging effect of copyright and the corporate enforcement of intellectual property on contemporary culture. By censoring the vowels the work circumvents the defacto ban on public displays of Joyce's work enforced by the Joyce estate but in the process removes all meaning from the text transforming it into a puzzle which the public are invited to solve.

Exhibitions: Screenshow, Temple Bar Dublin, EV+A 2007, Limerick.

The BPPS is a mashup utilising Dublin's extensive surveillance camera network in conjunction with facial recognition software, Google Maps and advanced probabilty techniques to allow visitors to determine the probability of seeing Bono in any of the most probable locations in Dublin's city centre in real time.

Commissioned by the Project Arts Centre in 2001 for the We're not really Here exhibition I purchased the domain name www.temple-bar.org and for the duration of the show created and published online a series of short pieces on the theme of Temple Bar, Dublin's cultural quarter. Each piece was published as is with no explanation text at this domain name. The project was supported by a Google adwords advertising campaign where the alternative Temple Bar website purchased several Temple Bar related keywords and competed with the 'real' Temple-Bar site in Google rankings.
