Created for a group exhibition predicated on J.G. Ballard’s science fiction novel, ‘The Drowned World’, this sequence of works intervenes in some of the basic apparatus used to chart time, direction, volume, temperature, and distance. The works’ collective title, The Bodkin Experiments, makes reference to biologist Dr Alan Bodkin’s attempts to map and moderate the increasingly accelerated changes wrought on the human psyche by Ballard’s terrifying new Eden.
