Signs of Life


We spend our lives being directed by signage, but what do the signs get up to when they have no one to tell what to do? Reactive signage, giving a look into the lives of overworked pictograms.

Site specific instalation for Sleepless exhibition at the Great Eastern Hotel. When people were present, the sign would function,  but when the space was empty the overworked pictogram  would take a well earned break, that is until he was needed back at work!
Flash animation controlled by a motion sensor.animation aprox 3mins. Click animation to make the fire exit man go back to work.

Signs of life is an Edition of 11 –  one of which is part of the Permanent collection at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The piece came about when I realised it is quite hard to stand on one leg for a long time…
