AgX
AgX is an art-science project about material memory and forgetting; it features time-lapse macro-photography of photographic negatives being chemically destroyed. Comprised of two 11-minute video works, the first work, “HNO3”, presents photographic negatives enveloped in nitric acid, acetic acid, and sulphuric acid. The second work, “H2O2”, uses hydrogen peroxide, copper, silver nitrate and sodium hypochlorite. The project is designed as a quadrophonic dual-channel video installation; the soundtracks of each work will work together in a single space, with directional speakers and two separate video channels playing simultaneously.
