Cliona Harmey

Cliona has worked for a number of years as a member of the Artists Team in the Education and Community Department IMMA working on the Primary School Programme and Explorer. Cliona studied sculpture, but in the last few years has worked primarily with digital media. She was a one year Artist in Residence at Arthouse Multimedia Centre Dublin in 1999-2000.

Her work is based around recording and resampling different instances of fleeting movement or sound in nature. Last year she worked on a collaborative web project with electronic musician Dennis McNulty based on recordings of the sea using the Beaufort Scale. You can see this project and other examples of her work here http://members.rhizome.net/charmey

In summer 2004, she began work on a project called Twinned With: a 40 day timebased photography project which explores ideas around photography, duplication and memory.

From the Artist's Portfolio

Metronome. Video loop, 2000

"This piece was filmed at Dunlaoghaire harbour one of my favourite places to walk. Dunlaoghaire is a historical place and it was here that Marconi the inventor of radio did one of his first broadcasts at a sailing boat regatta.This short video shows a sailing boat's mast going backward and forward very gently on the waves.The video is supposed to look like a vu meter which is a machine which measures sound.They say the sound from a radio broadcast lasts forever and I was thinking about Marconi and his radio sound broadcast when I filmed it. It was shown on a small television in a exhibition of my work at a Arthouse in Dublin." - Cliona Harmey
