#SERGINA'S DESPERATELY DELICIOUS DIRTY DATA - ongoing collaboration with Kit Kuksenok
#Sergina's Desperately Delicious Dirty Data Delivery and Dissemination is an exhibition, installation and performance series (and soon to be artist book/mail art) produced out of data gathered from nine online/offline performances that took place between June 2019 & January 2022, where #Sergina and her agents collected answers to a Google form hosted questionnaire about collective & individual wellbeing.
Taken originally from an open call for performances issued in 2017 by Istanbul-based Mamut Queer Art Collective, the questions have remained largely unchanged over this period. Multiple choice answers taken from #Sergina's songs are offered alongside some open fields. Each performance populated a new Google Form which Kit Kukseonk (who encountered this performance for the first time online in March 2020) analysed this year in collaboration with Python.
Each output of the dataset - sorted Alphabetically, Sentimentally, by Length order and by Time - was exported into Word/PDF and printed at A4. Each of the 238 Data Extracts was rubber stamped and offered for sale at a price the buyer suggested, starting at £2.50 plus £10 administration fee, £8 for the Real Gold Frame, and Second Class postage charged at cost.
Each Data output is limited to an edition of 3 + 2AP. At the point of sale, the rubber stamp on each Data Extract is filled in with details of the amout paid for it, the postcode of the place it is going to, and the date of the purchase. Purchasers are requested to fill in another form to say why they chose that particular data extract.

The Live Data Delivery is a demonstration of how one page of the data sounds.
#Sergina's Desperately Delicious Dirty Data Delivery and Dissemination was first shown as part of Elly Clarke's PhD cohort group show Mixed Bag at Goldsmiths in February 2022, and will form the basis of a new perfromance taking place at Spill Think Tank on July 14th 2022.
