CURRENT 93
14/09/07 14:08 Filed in: installation
The latest in a series of artworks by JAYGO BLOOM.
CURRENT 93 Invokes esoteric associations through the use of specific cipher code.
The concept behind CURRENT 93 is lifted directly from Hebrew gematria - The idea behind gematria is that through the conversion of words into numbers, the initiate discovers the revelation of esoteric associations of words of like number.
Presented at the ARCHES as part of 'Is That All There Is?' CURRENT 93 takes the conversion of words - into number one step further - into digitized media - An outline image of a triangle projected at a rate of 93 revolutions per minute upon three rotating chrome balls.
NEWFUTURENOW - Continuing the !!Great Work!! Fusing heretic belief with that of contemporary video arts practice and reiterated in in the forward to recent NFN show ROCK ELECTRONIQUE –
‘…melds materialist negative dialectics to contemporary gnostic, magickal beliefs. The art object is a symptom of this collision of epistemologies; it symbolises the space where correspondences are temporarily knotted, where contingent meaning emerges.’ - Dr Alex Kennedy, art critic

O:.O:.O:.

!!WORLD EXCLUSIVE!! - The latest hot topic buzzing
around the NEWFUTURENOW
industries is over the recent collaboration with
the DANCEHOUSE.
Glasgow. After a successful series of workshops
hosted by the TRAMWAY art venue and
overseen by Movement specialist and Choreographer
BRIAN HARTLEY . NEWFUTURENOW
has successfully completed the rough cut of a brand
new video artwork entitled O:.O:.O:.
We managed to catch a few minutes with JAYGO BLOOM The Project Director and Co-Ordinator
Can you tell us a little about the project Jaygo?
O:.O:.O:. reexamines the theosophical beliefs behind early modernist art in relation to dance, film and sculpture, I am interested in how the body becomes a symbol for the illusory 'artistic' reality between geometric and organic planes within the art object.
Can you explain the modernist like structure that you have imposed upon the performers?
O:.O:.O:. Has developed out of a series of choreographed scenes based around a very strict metronomic time signature and an Alexander Calder composition. For this project I have been interested in adopting a similar approach in direction as that of early modernist painting, one which is restricted by palette, by time and with formula.
What does O:.O:.O:. stand for?
O:. O:. O:. is video invocation, it involves the use of prime denominators and is expressed through a combination of technique and procedure. It manifests itself as 3 dancers, 3 art objects and 3 locations - A black rehearsal space, A white gallery space and a greenscreen video production room. The title O:.O:.O:. makes reference to the pace, the content and the connection between Art , Magick and Science that early modrnist artists often seeked solace.
