My research has included inquiries into ecology, science fiction and psychogeography as well as the materiality of digital technology. Informed by the ancient astronomical earthworks of Ireland, the land of my ancestors, I am setting out to understand human connection with land and sky through building models of neolithic Irish astronomical technologies in the home-state of the internet. The crux of my research relies on two main questions: Where will our human technologies bring us, and at what cost? How is our relationship to the knowledge of the environment (and ultimately ourselves) changing with the introduction of the internet? Being that Sweeney Granite Mountain Reserve little light pollution, and an almost extraterrestrial-looking environment, this location will provide an ideal environment to build these temporary earthworks for sky observation. During my time at the reserve, I am interested in visiting the archaeological sites located within the reserve. My practice will follow Leave No Trace principles. I will not be collecting animals, plants or any natural objects from the reserves. I will not be introducing any species or other foreign materials into the landscape except my own body, camera, sketch pads & water. My temporary installations will consist of moving stones in different arrangements and documenting the intervention through photography and drawings. Once I have documented the arrangements at sunrise and sunset, I will disassemble the structures and leave the area as close as possible to its original state.
