Phil Coy will give a tour of Hydro Electric Domestic including presenting a live activation of the sonic time-machine. The conversation with FTHo Director/Curator Gareth Bell-Jones will draw on a background dialogue that began after Coy visited Latham at his house and studio in the early 2000s, creating a dialogue between the two artist's conceptual practices.
Phil Coy’s approach is sensitive to materials, site and context. Formerly trained in sculpture, works employ a hybrid collage of concepts and processes. Particularly they have interrogated human exploitation of the landscape through the intersection of digital and analogue technologies. Sequential works examine the architecture of the archive, and the networked image alongside technologies of surveillance and self-surveillance.
