Vehicle Activated LED Road Sign, Lindisfarne, England 2015

The documentation supports the process of capturing a single image of an activated Vehicle LED Road Sign on the Lindisfarne Holy island, England. It records the message ‘RESPONSIBILITY IS YOURS..’ on the vehicle activated sign warning motorists of the changing tide that cuts the island off from the mainland.

The sign detects and is activated by the movement of the oncoming cars. The final photograph takes this moment and holds it in suspension. This video document and these stills from it, record my attempts to engage with the technology encountering failure that inspired a recognition of the nature of the elements as they are in themselves.

The relationship of car and sign and the manner of the operation, acknowledges the presence of the human capacity as rational and voluntary agent in the attainment of a goal in rhythm with but at the mercy of natural forces.
