Event Description

Taking direction from the GI's programme "Real Time"  Hole in my Pocket explore the experience of time from a macro/micro view point. Trying to understand the concept of "the moment"/ "the present" when viewed against the enormous background of the history of the Universe.
 
Hole in my Pocket’s previous work has repeatedly focused on inter-connections with time/ stories as the fourth dimension in architecture and this new series of pieces are a direct extension of this work.

American physicist Hugh Everett III (The father of the frontman of the band Eels.) proposed in 1952 his "Many Worlds" theory, stating that many universes exist parallel to our own. The physicist theorised that each time a situation exists with more than one  possible outcome, a new Universe is created to accommodate that situation. In that way, all potential outcomes are accounted for, and happening elsewhere.
 
Therefore, each time we make a choice, the Universe splits into parallel Universes. We make all of the possible choices we could have made but each in a different world. We however are aware of our choice only in our own world.
 
The 'Present'/ the 'Moment', as we experience it, is the freeze frame of these Choices as they are made, at the meeting point of Past and the splitting of possible Futures.
 
 
Yet, as world creators we still believe that we possess too little time; this is the myth we all now live by. What is true is that we are awash in things, in information, in news, in the old rubble and shiny new toys of our complex civilization, and perhaps stuff means speed. We have lost our pace, our connection, our position in the Universe; we can no longer see the stars. The wave patterns of all our facts and choices flow and crash about us at a heightened frequency. Meanwhile we continue to live in the buzz of the Light Age. We wish to live intensely, and we wonder about the consequences.
 
There are two directions that the accepting of our ‘real time’ can send us, either into collective unity or individual hedonism. Which shall we choose?
The new series of work consists of a set of diagram prints, a digital work and four installation/ sculptural pieces. One of these installations is a secret room which is really the heart of what our show is about but which can only be accessed by appointment, ask at the box office more info.
