GradCAM Head of Artistic Research Glenn Loughran presented on the final stages of his OPP residency in Ushers Island on Friday 28th February.

Working with service users in Ushers Island, Loughran has developed a prototype communication system that will be installed parasitically throughout the center.

Focusing on the idea of contributory work for a contributory society Loughran’s residency began with the contribution of a suite of disused MAC computers from TU Dublin to Ushers Island. The computers were then used to develop collective video essays with in Ushers Island which are installed in a unique set display case’s made by the participants. Each display will incorporate an earth battery into the design which used to power the screens showing the video essays.
