Here are some photos of my piece in situ at the Happidrome this Saturday.
Here we stand, drops a radar beam back through the history of the Goonhilly Downs through the period that the Dry Tree has stood on the site. It consists of three simultaneous animations; one circles the Dry Tree Megalith, one records the transitions of the stars across the sky from Goonhilly over a year once every hundred years, starting from the night of the exhibition and running back to 300BC the approximate date of the Dry Tree’s original erection. And the other fades back through views of the maps of the area from the modern OS map back to Gascoyne’s map, the earliest known map of the area. This animation is intended to show some of the key events that happened around the site, currently including the building of Arthur and the passing of the Spanish Armada.

Map of all the chain home stations, the first radar stations (pre rotating radar beams). They worked together creating a chain of interconnecting beams which covered the whole British coast line. Dry Tree is marked merits two separate labels.

Yes October is upon us already, and HAPPIDROME 3 finishes up with two events. Cat Bagg will present a site-specific video installation on Saturday 3 October in the R-Block. Its an open event and you can visit between 12-6pm.
Eagle eyed readers may have noted that The17 event scheduled for August 22 never took place, due to holidays and such like. It will now take place on Saturday 10 October and as before, if you have a burning urge to join us, then drop us a line. Its not an event strictly open to an audience (check out The17 website to find out why) but if you are on the Downs is quite possible you may bump into us.

Here’s something I’ve been playing around with whilst working towards the happidrome show at goonhilly, planning to have three different animations playing simultaneously (from the one projector) but only made the first one so far and this is part of it. Not sure about posting it to youtube, so have adapted an old blog page you can link to below.
