A series of mugs containing images of screenshots of random comments I find I have written in my iPhone notes i.e. CAPITALIST HIPPIES ARE A THING.

Augmented Gubb /
Develop an augmented reality app that means I could drop a public artwork into anywhere in the world and, so long as someone has the app on their phone, they can view the artwork.
The possibilities are, literally, endless.
First Phones... /
A list of the moment a mobile phone first appears in popular TV programmes from the 90s and 00s i.e.
The Sopranos - S1 E07
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia - S4 E08
Champagne /
A multi-screen video (wide-screen monitors, installed portrait, to create a tall tower of screens).
On the top screen is a full-frame shot of a flute of champagne standing on a tray. The tray wobbles, causing the flute to fall from the tray.
In slow motion, the flute falls towards the floor, moving from one screen to the next, until we see the glass smash on the floor.
Once it has come to rest, the audio of a room full of people cheering plays.
The end.
New Work - 'So Good!' /
Mid-to-large scale sculptural renderings of the shocked-face, hand clap, high-five, and fire emojis.
A second part to this work (maybe the entire work..) is a photograph of these works posted on Instagram.
Ghost Room /
Using air-conditioning units connected to a weather-app via a computer, the room/gallery will be kept at the local (and live) temperature of Williamsburg in New York.
When I came up with this idea I immediately thought it should be Williamsburg, for no more conscious reason than it’s somewhere I would often like to be, but aren’t.
I’ve since come to think of how Williamsburg has been described as cool, as hot, and for many people is now something of a cultural ghost town, due to gentrification.
It would be possible to come up for a conceptual justification for setting the temperature to pretty much any town or city in the world.
A key recommendation is that wherever the work is installed, a town/city is chosen somewhere in the world that has a significantly different temperature/season/weather-pattern, to ensure the work is physically effective on entering the room.
