Jessica Lloyd Jones is our Artist in focus today.
She visited Bletchley Park, the home of the British Code Breakers in WW2, and along with Ant Dickinson, created and recorded images and sounds from the Enigma Machine.
‘Aura’ explores the development of the electromechanical machine to the modern age of computer technology through the creative use of Kirlian imaging. An electric charge applied to a variety of computer components produces visible energy fields captured in moving image, accompanied by a soundscape of electromechanical and electronic noises.
By stripping the notion of the ‘computer’ down to single components, we attempt to peel back its layers and reveal its internal workings and life force. Capturing the interaction between electricity and technology exposes the physical energy and power of electricity as a natural phenomena controlled and utlised by man.
