HeHe
Plane Jam (ground emissions)
11.00 — 5.00pm
6th — 21st May
Norwich Town Centre
(For location see: www.invisibledust.com)
|
Info
In May unmanned aircraft will enter the lower airspace of the city of Norwich and will be targeting the consciences of the people beneath them. We never actually see the harmful toxins emitted by aircraft; the visible plane contrails are made up of non toxic water droplets. The artist’s miniaturisation of the AB 380 aircraft when seen against the sky, moving slowly between two buildings, might be mistaken for a real plane flying high above the city, were it not for the disproportionate vapour trail behind it. Plane Jam will be seen by thousands of pedestrians through the city and will challenge the increasing planes in our skies, low cost air travel and highlight its effect on global warming.

Liz Ballard
Tracing water
4.00pm
Saturday 7th May
Location
In the River Wensum, St George’s Street. (Best viewed from Friars Quay, the riverside walk behind Elm Hill, and along Quayside.)
|
Info
Liz Ballard’s contemplative installation in the River Wensum consists of luminous coloured ice objects that gradually melt and create eerie trails beneath the river’s surface, transforming the river into a giant fluorescent artwork. Ballard has worked with Dr Kevin Hiscock, a hydrogeologist who uses these dyes to measure how pollutants are related to the 99% decline in this nationally important chalk river habitat. See: www.wensumalliance.org.uk. Both HeHe and Liz Ballard have been in residence at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia. |
