'Making Visible the Invisible'
Arbury Park, Cambridge
Commissions East
Autumn - Winter 2006

Arbury Park is a major mixed-use development of over 900 new homes on the northern fringe of Cambridge. Artist Patricia MacKinnon-Day will be working with developers Gallagher Estates and South Cambridgeshire District Council on the master-planning process. Through public involvement and research, MacKinnon-Day will identify ways of integrating the new settlement with surrounding communities whilst linking it to the historic City of Cambridge. Both temporary and permanent works are expected to arise from the project.

Susan Collins: Fenlandia
Babylon
23 September - 5 November

Fenlandia has been in development since May 2004 when webcams were installed in various rural and technological locations including 'Silicon Glen' (Scotland), 'Silicon Valley' (M4 Corridor) and 'Silicon Fen' (East Anglia). Collected over a day-long period, webcam images are recorded one pixel every second; the result is a series of gradually unfolding, classically romantic landscape images harvested and encoded over time. At Babylon Gallery's riverside location, webcams will capture the changing effects of light on the surface of the water seen via the pixel-landscape.
