This ongoing interactive project was developed from the many thousands of seemingly intangible images that momentarily appeared on the walls of the 'snow' exhibition in 2003. There was a somewhat animist reaction to this work amongst many viewers. People felt that they had seen or heard something within the imagery and sound that related to their lives on a personal level, a sort of 'reading' within the technological chaos. These reactions led to the distilling of ten images from the six weeks of footage. These ten images travel to diverse social and cultural environments, where people are asked to name the 'untitled' works.

The feedback will eventually become the raw material forming the basis of the fourth and last work in the 'cardiograph' series. What is sought here is an immediate reaction as anonymous, handwritten text. This content is collected and it will return as thoughts, memories and imagined scenarios to the public domain, by exposition of the titles and images together in the final sequence of the 'cardiograph' series. This process can take many forms depending on its environment, though the core methodology of individual reaction to the ten images is always present.

The first experiment began here on the Internet. If you would like to participate please compose a simple e-mail. Type numbers 1 to 10 and describe your first thoughts when you saw each image. Please use the minimum amount of text necessary to express your thoughts. There is no need to take time over this process, your first impression is what is required. The information supplied remains anonymous and will be added to the reactions of other individuals who come into contact with this project. The most recent versions of this work have taken place at The Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin, Portlaoise Prison, a disused bank in Belfast city, 'Night of Art' in Vaasa, Finland, Cooper Union (Manhattan) and The International Studio and Curatorial Program in Brooklyn, New York in September 2011.
