Transit Cube

3D Model

I aim to connect how during the lockdown we are separated from each other and at the same time so many of the things we need have to be ordered by mail delivery. My father is 83, he paints and lives in Cambridge, we have now not seen each other in over eighteen months, he agreed to collaborate. Hopefully this would bring us closer in some way. My idea was to make and then respond to or derelict the outside of a ‘box’, send it to him, let him respond to that, contribute or interrupt my responses/ derelictions and send it back to me. The Transit Cube would receive knocks and scuffs from its travels and it would also retain postage stamps and labels. This would continue for as long as possible or until we felt that there was nothing more to add. From an initial ‘early learning’ theme, the game was soon upped along the lines of Barthesian philosophic theory with learnt signs, symbols and their signifiers.
