Listen To My Trousers....
What do your jeans say about you?
Although completed in 2003 as part of a 13 year project, we found that scientists on the human jeanome project had completely overlooked the most important jeans of all. Encoded in these specific functional products are the memories, feelings, emotions, sweat, and skin particles which link humans all over the world. Projection screens, live performance opportunities, digital images and computer generated sound are all utilised in such a way that, for the first time, the jeans are able to speak for themselves.
Jeans are basic and functional units of heredity and without them, we would not be who we are. Jeanetic research has now begun in earnest to add to the information gathered since 2003, but there is much yet left to do. Reasearch will no doubt lead to huge leaps in jeanetic engineering. This project fearlessly maps our inheritance even though the risk of jeanetic mutation is ever present.
Listen to my trousers is the latest collaborative multimedia work being developed by ici-arts. Combining various artforms including sculpture, sonic art, photography, video and words, Listen To My Trousers makes its own special contribution to the human jeanome project.
