Description

If my phone is on, I have to assume that Google and the CIA, or whoever, know where I am at every moment. Our grandparents perhaps, on the other hand, still remember times when locations were only communicable by letter delivered on horseback a month later. This whole historical (and philosophical) span of capabilities is encompassed in the research of Jen Southern, a sociology and new media arts academic at Lancaster University. But since Southern is also an artist, it is the evocations, associations, disruptions and meanings of the subject (location and movement) that form the real core of her inquiry. http://corridor8.co.uk/article/review-jen-southern-skylines-queens-hall-arts-centre-hexham-northumberland/
