MADMEN the bittorrent edition
is part of an ongoing series of video made from TV show episodes incompletely downloaded from the internet via bittorrent.
Comprising of one episode of Madmen incompletely downloaded from the internet via bittorrent the video has been linearly edited, no digital effects were used and all jump cuts and repeats are in the corrupted file.
The video captures an episode of the popular TV show in the act of being shared by thousands of users on bittorent with the corruption of the file a direct result of the bittorrent protocol. The video acts as a visualisation of bittorrent traffic and the practice of filesharing and avoids infringing the copyright of Madmen as it is incomplete. Curiously the greater number of simultaneous users sharing the file the more aesthetically pleasing are the distortion effects.

Walking Stories is a Soundwalk through Dundrum village guided by a location-aware smartphone app. Walking Stories asks what it is that connects us to the spaces we live and work in and invites us to share in the personal memories that create a place.
Starting at the Carnegie Library the soundwalk unfolds in Dundrum village leading participants on a narrative trail which recounts the personal stories that connect people to specific locations. Walking Stories reveals a virtual world of memories, associations and connections that underpin a community.
Walking Stories was created for Unfolding Narratives: Dundrum Open Submission Exhibition 2011 curated by Annette Moloney and Maeve Mulrennan and commissioned by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
