Lift vs Drag
Artist: Paul Litherland
Work ID: 83279
Description: Lift vs. Drag (2017)
“Lift vs Drag” is a video installation of me wearing a business suit and in constant freefall. There is no end to the fall, no panic, just searching for some kind of control while the wind frantically tears at the falling body.

Babble
Artist: Paul Litherland
ID : 46625
Description: Babble is a performance created by Paul Litherland, and developed by Litherland and percussionist Alexander MacSween. They perform Babble on electronic drum kits connected to computer equipment. As the performers play their drums, the hits are converted to MIDI signals and sent to the computers, which in turn transform the signals into elements of messages. A hit can produce a '0', a '1', a word, or control a video clip. One element of the performance uses the "ASCII Writer", a program that interprets the drum beats as the 0's and 1's of ASCII binary code. (ASCII is one of the languages used by the computer to interpret the input from the keyboard.) As the 8-bit sequences of digits are played in musical time, the performers generate letters and short texts that are projected on the screens behind them. Other performance elements use the drumbeats to control video sequences, allowing the performers to transform the video messages into musical and aesthetic arrangements. Babble explores the codes of var

Listener
Artist: Paul Litherland
ID : 46622
Description: Listener is a work about unclear communication. It is a series of ears made from tin and placed in trees. They refer to the expression to have a "tin ear", which means that one is unable to distinguish notes, or to be an undiscriminating listener. I placed 5 pairs of ears in the trees in Changamphuza Park, Edappaly, Kerala, India, to be discovered only by the truly observant. The scale of the ears is slightly larger than real life. By equipping the trees with human ears that don't hear very well, or at all, I am making reference to our inability to pay attention to the natural world, and hopefully generate reflection on what it is to listen to nature and ultimately each other. I believe that the act of listening has more transformative potential than that of creating messages, and although that is perhaps not a reading people will take from this piece, it is part of what brought it there.

Description: Eole is a 4 minute video of a BASE jump I made in September, 2002. It consists of a curtained off enclosure, with a small TV and headphones. With this installation, I am creating a space that allows the viewer to cross the boundary of fear that goes with finding or exploring new territory. I made the jump wearing a modified stethoscope and a microphone to collect both internal body and external ambient sounds.

Turning Point
Artist: Paul Litherland
ID : 46616
Description: Death is ten seconds away. Just enough time to do something simple and unimportant. In the context of extreme sports, the artist and his skydiving mentor invite spectators to consider the meaning of keeping control in dangerous situations. Falling through the sky is a difficult place to do something ordinary. The fear of dying, of making mistakes, of not getting it right, or of simply looking stupid all come into play and have to be overcome in order to continue, to survive. Turning point is a video installation about overcoming fear. Two skydivers signal to each other and turn in place in an endless freefall, the sound circling the room with them, giving the viewer an experience that asks them to consider the importance of connecting to each other in difficult circumstances.

“Souvenirs” is a series of self portraits of the artist, and was presented initially in 1993 as a storytelling performance entitled “Souvenirs”. The artist sat accompanied with a number of photos of himself in various guises. They are photos of him as he is, imagined being or had lived. Viewers were asked to choose an image and the artist responded with a short story that would create a poetic juxtaposition with the photograph. In 2006, some of these works were reprinted large scale for the exhibition “Faking Death” at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York and for the exhibition Absolutely Fabulous at Galerie Thérèse Dion.

Description: Souvenirs/Absolutely Fabulous (1993-2006)
“Souvenirs” is a series of self portraits of the artist, and was presented initially in 1993 as a storytelling performance entitled “Souvenirs”. The artist sat accompanied with a number of photos of himself in various guises. They are photos of him as he is, imagined being or had lived. Viewers were asked to choose an image and the artist responded with a short story that would create a poetic juxtaposition with the photograph. In 2006, some of these works were reprinted large scale for the exhibition “Faking Death” at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York and for the exhibition Absolutely Fabulous at Galerie Thérèse Dion.
