- Testing Situations | Charlie Harrison Art
Testing Situations About Blog Events Team Partners Protocal Minutes Search Results More How do cognitive tests help us understand how the human mind works? By adapting existing tests and utilising artistic methods this project uncovers experiences of assessment whilst communicating the ways we perceive the world. Testing Situations is a research project working with the mechanisms of neurological assessment. A series of artworks have been created in response to testing materials and archival videos of people undertaking assessments, and the project has initially focused on tests of language, object, spatial and semantic perception developed at UCL Institute of Neurology. An archive of examples detailing similarities between cognitive tests and conceptual artworks is being formulated and through this research new tests and situations are being explored. The project aims to straddle forms of creativity used in the fields of neuropsychology, conceptual art and experimental technology to discuss the historical evolution of tests and adapt the ways people are assessed in the future. Testing Situations toured around the UK throughout 2019, funded by a Wellcome Public Engagement grant. The project has been developed through the Created Out of Mind research residency at Wellcome Collection and collaborations with members of Rare Dementia Support groups and researchers at the Dementia Research Centre, UCL Institute of Neurology. Learning from this project was expanded on as part of the Understanding Intelligence residency at PRAKSIS, Oslo which asked how constructs of intelligence are measured, used and abused, and how changing understandings of human and more-than-human worlds might require radical redefinitions.

- FAQs | Charlie Harrison Art
FAQ What is Sandman Mattresses? Sandman Mattresses is an installation, sculptural exhibition and online mediation created by Teal Griffin and Charles Robert Harrison based (loosely) on mythology surrounding the Sandman. The installation takes the form of a mattress showroom & shopfront and is the culmination of conversations and collaborative making over the last two years. What is the background to this? The project has felt primarily like an excuse to work together as we felt there were interesting crossovers between our work. The initial idea started as an informal conversation on the front seat of the top deck of a double decker bus after getting lost and jumping on trampolines. We have been meeting, talking and working together on the project since then. What is Crappy Realism? Crappy Realism is a term first (or most recently) used by artist Rosa Doornenbal to describe a current tendency for artwork which is highly realistic and recognisable in form, but the construction uses crappy materials, techniques or effects. If you were a mattress, what mattress would you be? A bit old and tired. Sweat stained, but not to the extent of disgust. Pretty comforting at the end of the day. What's on offer at Sandman Mattresses? A range of things, from the world's most breathable pillow to a fully automated office. Sleep / Dream Advice The best (and worst) dreams always start with sleep. How can I purchase a mattress and / or other products? Please contact us with your enquiry Why is the shop located here? Partly because the space was available, but it does fit in quite well and the surroundings have certainly influences the design of the installation. Who is Sandman? What is the relationship to set design? Is Sandman Mattresses closing down? How is scale and repetition used in your process? How long will this go on for? How do you approach branding? What do I do if I'm unsatisfied with my experience?

ACE Developing Your Creative Practice - Supporting Imagery & Information Please find below some imagery and information in support of my Developing Your Creative Practice application. The proposed work would seek to expand on my knowledge of filmmaking techniques and especially in the use of 16mm equipment. The primary theme and location for this work would be Lincolnshire and the fens - I am interested in the area of the fens which was historically reclaimed from the sea. I want to understand the history of water management in this environment and those who have lived and continue to live here. The below work details some initial exploration of these techniques and themes, including previous experience of filmmaking, working with landscape imagery in Scotland, and people living with rare dementias. Further information is given about projects which have explored water management systems, the land and materials of the fens, and relationships between human and non-human systems. I have also included some links to relevant information about important sites, archives, centres of knowledge and cultural context for the proposed development work. LINCS 2020 Experiments with clay-making, pottery and painting. Experience with Filmmaking the 'Neva' is a multichannel video installation about dementia, narration and the landscapes of a test. Are the voices of people with dementia diminished by cognitive testing materials? This film demonstrates individual capacities for expression through narration whilst exploring creative, historical and aesthetic qualities hidden in a scientific test of reading. Featuring 6 narrators who encounter a range of challenges with reading; from perceiving letters and words, to speaking them aloud or understanding their meaning, the film aims to highlight retained strengths for communication through bodily gesture, facial intonation and the playful drive to express oneself. The short passage that is narrated in the film is commonly used by neurologists when assessing reading abilities, and it was devised by Prof Elizabeth K Warrington as part of the Queens Square Screening Test for Cognitive Defects. The text includes details from Prof. Warrington’s own personal history and the film creatively explores these names, places and objects in association with the narrations. This project has been funded by the Created Out of Mind residency at Wellcome Collection, London and UCL. The film will be toured around the UK throughout 2019, funded by a Wellcome Public Engagement grant.
