SPIKE 2 was an integral part a three-day residency titled, Office Investigations by Artist Jeannie Driver. The residency utilised three “tools”; SPIKE IT, ATMOSPHERE and STEPDATA. The Office Investigation had a strong team and participatory focus. Step Data used pedometers to record how many paces workers took while in the office; Atmosphere enabled workers to record and forecast their mood in the office that day (through weather symbols) and SPIKE IT 2 asked people to track and trace their waste paper by impaling paper on a large spike. During the Office Investigation video and cctv footage recorded acts of SPIKING and the changing life of the ATMOSPHERE board. SPIKEIT 2 became a focus for Office workers interactions including a team impromptu performance and flying paper tricks. As paper grew up SPIKE IT 2 its visual presence became a conversation piece with workers and visitors alike, increasing dialogue around issues paper usage and print production within the office. |  | Close window
