Where Is The Mute Button - a virtual exhibition s-i-g-h-t
An Arches New Work Commission
Concerned with the noise pollution of our everyday activities, JK Bauer and Helen Cuinn set out to explore the world we live on the internet and whether we need more silence in our lives. This virtual site was accessed on site in the Arches visual art space and was complimented with an exhibition of photographs.

All three come from Scotland, Caroline lives in Belfast, Lucy in Melbourne and Helen in Glasgow.(h)our 8&9 was conceived to provide a support platform for the individual exploratory practices, experiment with physical and mental distance and to create a body of work through discussion, miscommunication and the sharing of ways to make. Each of the individuals involved are employed and engaged across art forms and have an interest in expanding their understanding of the term 'art form'.
