Olympus installation

Here at Linney, we have an installation space that we’ve used in the past to create interesting talking points, linked to the work we do for our clients. Recently, we put one together for Olympus based on their digital voice recorders. As well as a brief history of recording devices, from the Magnetophon to the Minidisc, we also wanted to show the capacity of digital as opposed to analogue recording. An Olympus DS-5000 can hold almost 80 hours of audio, the equivalent of 80 micro cassettes which we used to create this sculpture. For more information about the DS-5000 click here.

English ceramist Beccy Ridsdel has worked as ceramics technician at York College for nearly 10 years and recently discovered her love of bone china and porcelain – I really like her latest work – an installation set up as an interrupted laboratory experiment – ceramics being dissected, like an autopsy, to find out what lays beneath the surface. Inspired by her mother, who is also a ceramist, Ridsdel is constantly exploring new forms and possibilities.
