It has been refreshing to have my boyfriend visit for a few days from Manchester. I felt guilty for his 11 hour journey all the way down here, but I thought that all would not be lost on the way back, I could utilise the journey.
Detachment from the journey allows for a participant to gather data on instruction of the artist. The participant can influence the data collected because of their own preferences. The data collected is unique to the individual, and unique to the specific journey. The giving of instructions allows for the participant to work along guidelines, and also has the potential to be standardised across a number of experimental journey works, using different participants and journey routes. I gave him a list of instructions to gather data using his camera phone of his journey back to Manchester, and to then send me the images, but only a small number at a time. I have also given him freedom to alter the order, orientation and effects of the images before sending them to me. I hope that this will kick-start a piece of work that requires me to respond to the images within the same day that they are sent.
