Haroon Mirza, ’Drugs & $$$’, 2021.

This ever evolving artwork, recently mixed and mastered,  features IPhone footage gathered from a variety of locations between 2011 - 2017, including: Max Neuhaus’ Time Square installation, NYC; the auditorium during a performance of Philip Glass & Robert Wilson’s opera Einstein on the Beach; IRCAM, Paris; Gabe Gurney on drums at Tim Burgess’ studio, near Manchester; hrm199 studio; a railway that runs through Marfa Texas and the Richard Serra installation at the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas. Originally developed as part of the first “Emerging Paradigm” artwork - a bespoke media device developed over several years at hrm199 studio that allows the syncing of up to 4 videos together with electrical signals to create immersive audiovisual installations - all of this footage was sequenced alongside an electrical signal score and features a reading of the Wikipedia entry for Pharmaceutical company Bayer (as it was in 2012).
