Ground Control by Scanner
Ground Control was curated by Beaconsfield in London and Jutempus in Vilnius and was a collaborative project between these two artist-led spaces. This sound piece was commissioned by, and installed at Beaconsfield in 1997.
Artists projects focused upon the relationship between ‘East’ and ‘West’ Europe through their experiences as visitors, exploring the implications of travel and global communication and the potential of the artist as commentator and contemporary seer.
With Fiona Banner, Ceponyte & Ozarinscas, Lucy Gunning, Evaldas Jansas, Linas Liandzbergis, David Mollin, Deimantas Narkevicius, Aturas Raila with Darius Cuita, and Thomson & Craighead.
I visit Vilnius Lithuania to stay for a period and explore and record. What you hear is a collage of voices and sounds I picked up on this trip, depicting the acoustic memories from this visit to Vilnius. It follows my steps through the city, the market, and the crowds.
It was broadcast on SR Swedish Radio in 2003 in an edited version. Now you can hear the full work for the very first time.
More details here and some photo documentation of my visit to Vilnius on 16 April 1997
