April 1st 2010 – April 30th 2010
For the month of April, YouTube video triptych, ‘Several Interruptions’ will be projected onto the side of a high-rise building in downtown Syracuse, New York.
Several Interruptions, which collages together online videos in which people are seen holding their breath underwater, is both interruption (as its name suggests) as well as documentary, in which the seemingly mundane and numerous has been made back into something unique and original
Thomson & Craighead have personally chosen, from some 61,000 possible files on YouTube, videos which they have edited together into brief vignettes which interrupt each other sequentially (in time) and laterally (on-screen)
Several Interruptions was made for the Arts Council of England for the relaunch of their website in 2009
