A pin-pricked drawing/sculpture/performance, in progress, 0.5cm x indeterminate. The Boggy Gassy Line, which will be tailor-made to fit from floor to ceiling of the spaces it is exhibited in, translates a continuous data stream from an agri-sensor network monitoring a degraded peatland in the Cambrian Mountains. A single black punch-hole divides 5,376 pin-pricked white punch-holes; each prick represents a single digit of a datapoint.
The work visibilises raw environmental data as an ongoing accumulation of holes. This is a critique of the excessive generation of data, and the layering of peat as it accumalates over millennia
Being with the data, being with the labour, is my way of being with the bog.
