Bad Input For Evil People marks the first solo show by artist Al Jackson, bringing together the multi-media disciplines he has been developing for the last five years, showcasing digitally sculpted images printed on fabric, alongside the premiere screening of short film Moorland Harmonix.
About
Since March 2020 Al Jackson has divided his time between the A107 and the area immediately west of the A1 at junction 48.
The imagery that makes up this show was catalysed by these two locations, the travel between them and the era they inhabit.
Alongside the principles of surveillance and bureaucracy, provenance and progress, paradise, loyalty, expanded universes and the Sonoran Desert, two subjects were predominant during the process of creating this work; the raucous socio-political environment of Jacobean Britain, and the succeeding history of 18th century Northern England’s most vivacious road-building eccentric, John Metcalf.
Motivated by the miscellany of themes above, through creating these images Al Jackson has tried to better understand the confounding relationship between the anxieties of an individual and those - as perceived - of culture itself.
