Project 2: The Doppler Affect (Part 1)Sandra Bridie, Ruth Claxton, Felicity Greenland and Kelly Large'The Doppler Affect' is an ongoing international collaborative exchange project that explores the transmission of ideas and artistic behaviours over geographical, cultural and conceptual proximities. A common element to all artistic practice is the need to communicate to the world. Usually this involves the mediation of ideas into some sort of physical form. As is the case with any form of communication, things shift and slide during this process of transmission and reception. 'The Doppler Affect' aims to explore what happens when an artist bridges the gap between ideal and worldly forms, 'when ideas and information fall in and out of meaning' (Godfrey Worsdale, 2004) as they traverse the distance between thought and action, private space and public arena. For 'The Doppler Affect' (Part 1) UK-based artists Ruth Claxton, Kelly Large and Felicity Greenland intend to send a weekly document of their artistic practice, creative approach and behavior to Australian-based artist Sandra Bridie. While in residence at Ocular Lab, Sandra Bridie will, over a two week period, appropriate these distant practices and attempt to resolve the collection of thoughts, actions and materials into actual work. During 'The Doppler Affect' (Part 1), Ocular Lab serves as a residency studio where visitors can observe and interact with the processes of transmission and formation while taking place. The Doppler Affect is the second of three projects in the November/December program at Ocular Lab Inc. coordinated by Sandra Bridie. Project 3: Wait: Sandra Bridie and Cynthia Troup (Image)A video project at Ocular Lab by Sandra Bridie and Cynthia Troup Wait is a site-specific video project filmed ‘on location’ at Ocular Lab during December 2004. Troup and Bridie will exchange ten lines of text to each other as the ‘script’ to their video. This text will provide a formal framework as intertitles to each piece. Bridie and Troup have previously worked together on Obscure, another site-specific video project, with Anya Latham, filmed and projected at CLUBSproject Inc in 2003. Wait is the third and final instalment of projects coordinated by Sandra Bridie at Ocular Lab in November/December 2004
