PROPOSAL Together we are designing a 100-mile conversation on the subject of suicide that will take place while walking across the South Downs Way a national trail that runs from Winchester to Beachy Head; a notorious suicide spot. The walk will begin with the two of us contemplating our own personal experiences and thoughts on suicide and emotional health. To help work out what suicide means to us a cast of psychotherapists, volunteer Samaritans, academic experts on end of life issues and a shaman will join us on the walk. As the walk develops small groups of up to 10-15 people will also join the conversation by contemplating and sharing their own experiences with the group. A series of planned talks and events that explore different aspects of suicide (historical, cultural, medical, psychological, personal, political) will take place at specific landmarks connected to suicide on the route. After walking for 6 days the project will end when we reach Beachy Head; a 162-metre sheer drop from the edge of the UK and a metaphor for the fragility of our own existence.

ANGEL OF THE NORTH [Modification I] [Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England] Proposal to attach Solar PV panels to the 54 metres (177 ft) wings of Antony Gormley's public sculpture to reduce the electricity bills of the residents of Low Fell, a suburb situated near to the public sculpture in the Borough of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England. <img src="http://payload139.cargocollective.com/1/7/229418/5080130/angel_of_north_2 small_8.png" width="450" height="361" width_o="450" height_o="361" src_o="http://payload139.cargocollective.com/1/7/229418/5080130/angel_of_north_2 small_8_o.png" data-mid="27376861" border="0" align="left"/> Using the facilities of the Newcastle University Climbing Club members of the Wanneys climbing club will practice scaling the 20 metre (66 ft) Angel of the North in a pre-enactment of the attaching of the solar PV panels to the sculpture. <img src="http://payload139.cargocollective.com/1/7/229418/5080130/angel_of_north_close_up small.png" width="450" height="338" width_o="450" height_o="338" src_o="http://payload139.cargocollective.com/1/7/229418/5080130/angel_of_north_close_up small_o.png" data-mid="27376301" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload139.cargocollective.com/1/7/229418/5080130/rock_climber.jpg" width="450" height="337" width_o="450" height_o="337" src_o="http://payload139.cargocollective.com/1/7/229418/5080130/rock_climber_o.jpg" data-mid="27342698" border="0" align="left"/> Due to the Angel of the North's south easterly positioning it is predicted that this project could help cut Low Fell's electricity bills by 40%. As with all contemporary Solar PV systems, after 25 years the original panels will need to be replaced. By 2037 synthetic biology will have evolved from using the photosynthetic properties of plants to harvest the sun's energy on manned space missions to more commercial applications. Proposal 2.

In the same manner as Bok this project proposes a hypothetical scientific realisation of Arthur Rimbaurd's synesthesia poem Voyelles. Instead of each vowel being assigned a different colour (as was Rimbaurd's original intention) the Vowels project proposes that the sound of each vowel releases a different neurotransmitting chemical in the brain, giving the poem an intensely sensuous dimension. Brain scan of neurotransmitting chemicals released when exposed to the sound of vowels. How could this proposition effect poetry and the spoken word of the future? Extract from MA dissertation.

From the beginning a constant disagreement has existed within the military as to how effective biological weapons might be. The first position taken by the United States military was that such weapons were a waste of resources. Then, during the cold war the Soviet Union was reported to be researching biological weapons on a grand scale. The main issue faced by the Soviet Union in its quest for germ warfare supremacy was in its delivery. How could they deliver a deadly sustainable bacteria without a boomerang effect occurring? The United States military position became one of defense against a biological attack and began immunizing its citizens. Not wanting to create a mass panic they secretly developed the perfect chemical delivery device. The domestic air freshener. There has still been no mass scale chemical attack on the west.

Realising that this community fell outside of its legal jurisdiction the crown head of state put pressure on the local council to evict the group. In defiance of the crown and the local county council the community raised the American flag and claimed themselves to be the 28th state of America. The occupation was short lived and the story of the America Ground faded into history as quickly as it had appeared from the sea. In the 1990's Hastings was suffering culturally and economically. Local historian Dennis Collins encouraged the Hastings council to use the story of the America Ground to give a new identity and sense of community to the area where the America Ground once stood. These two films explore the America Ground folklore from two different perspectives. In the first film Dennis Collins tells the story based upon the many facts that he has accumulated over the years. The second film collages conversations with local shop keepers [who re-tell the story as a local mythology] with local geology. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-39180437-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
