People enjoy my company
A film connecting the privatisation of state-owned telecommunications with techno-optimism, euphoria and online communication in the lead up to the millennium.
People enjoy my company is currently screening as part of no_matter_here, a digital artwork, web zine and exhibition which connects the work of artists exploring pre-millenium networks as potential sites of technological emancipation. The project is a collaboration with Cóilín O’Connell and funded by Brightening Air | Coiscéim Coiligh, a nationwide, ten day season of arts experiences brought to you by the Arts Council.
The film is central to a series of works which can be found by exploring the no_matter_here exhibition page.
The work is funded by a project award from the Arts Council. The development was funded by a Rapid Residency Award from Science Gallery
