Connectivity
10 - 11 February 2023
Intra Arts, Old High Street, Chatham
A Filaments commission for Medway Light Nights.
Connectivity refers to the history and location of the building itself. It was once the Gentlemen & Boys Outfitters of Featherstone’s department store, and latterly housed a company called ‘Spemco’ who manufactured printed electrical circuit boards. Chatham Intra is the name commonly used to denote the area that links Rochester and Chatham.
Highlighting the history of the area as well as referencing the past and future role of technology locally, ‘Connectivity’ uses the symbol of a circuit board to explore networks, connectivity and energy running through people and communities. The artists have used a wild arrangement of lights and colour springing from the circuit board base, spreading and connecting one piece to another, to create something magical, fun and fizzing with the energy and power of light.
