Angel / Cage


Enos Dumpy has finally weighed in on preliminary sketches for NP's Venice presence.

Dumpy's intervention will include the first in a series of what the artist calls "uninvited gifts" to a number of unassuming, international publics.

"Cage" will be a functioning Faraday Cage, placed outside of NP's internal premises. For those unaware with the intricasies of 19th century science, a Farady Cage is a simple physical space, born of mundane materials, wherein no elcetromagentic signal may trespass.

Once an armchair physicist's paraphenalia, Dumpy's CAGE assumes the perfect sancutary; a place where the interaction of digital life, cellphones, data-squirts and survellainces end by hitting the nasty horizon of the simple copper mesh of the confessional. The result is a public-private space.

Drawings, theory and yatta-yatta to follow. Oh yeh, nearly forgot: more about Enos' 'Angels' too.
