	Google Image Search This artwork used Google as a tool to highlight our associations between word and image. Working from a list of around 70 words, Google's image search feature was used to find the 20 most viewed images for each word, which were appropriated to create 60 second slide show-style videos. This project was initially presented as a video installation for an exhibition in September/October 2004 at the G2 Gallery, Chicago

Blank Sign project I started the Blank Sign as a performance in February 2003. The premise was simple: holding a large blank placard, I stood on Glasgow's busiest street for a regular period of time (12-5) every day for a week. The artwork was a diary, which detailed what people had thought the sign was about. Since this initial performance, I have repeated the work, and taken it do different cities (and countries). The method of presentation has also varied, and encompasses book, sound, video and photography.
