QUADRUPLEX Catalogue

This publication accompanies the exhibition QUADRUPLEX at S1 Artspace, Sheffield, on view from 31st March to 2nd April, 2009. 'Just as water, gas, and electricity are brought into our homes from far off to satisfy our needs in response to a minimal effort, so we shall be supplied with visual or auditory images, which will appear and disappear with a simple movement of the hand.' -Paul Valéry, 'Aesthetics' 'Quadruplex,' taking its name from the first commercially viable video broadcasting tape format, brings to question the interrelation forged between unwitting submergence into a contemporary digital society and its componential visual analysis of post panoptic architectural models.
