Briony Clarke and Emma Toynbee, Remote View
Remote viewing (RV) is the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target using subjective means, in particular, (ESP) or “sensing with mind”. Artists Briony Clarke and Emma Toynbee have been developing sculptural techniques involving the use of Remote Viewing. For the duration of the performance they will be undertaking a series of experiments. Briony will be working intuitively with various materials, Emma working out of sight, will attempt to remote view the sculptures Briony makes and replicate them in real time. The ongoing project between the two artists is an attempt to uncover a more speculative, ludic view of the world and its chattering things.
Briony Clarke graduated with an MA in Communication Art and Design from the RCA in 2011. Briony’s work involves plotting the construction of her own maverick Art World, a liminal place she has called Set Town. Over the past three years she has been Resident Artist at Portmeirion Village in North Wales where she has been working with marine biologists to develop her Sea Fax, an autonomous machine, which produces the original manuscript of Set Town - texts that come directly from the sea.
Emma Toynbee is a performance artist who presents psychic phenomena creatively as an Art Form. She uses psychometry, the ability to psychically sense information about an object’s history, and remote viewing, the making of drawings or sculptures of remote images, objects, or locations via the intuitive or psychic senses, remaking a literal or metaphorically-energetic representation of something hidden from her at a distance.
