In 2010, the Allegheny mountain region of Pennsylvania was drilled through to make way for a private fibre-optic cable line linking the major trading capitals of America – New York and Chicago. Largely conducted in secret, the $300 million project was constructed to speed up high-frequency trading times by a matter of milliseconds. Much of the route follows small paved roads, bridges and railroads due to laws against laying fibre on interstate highways, the challenge became constructing “the straightest path allowed by law”*. The Allegheny Mountains are often noted, if somewhat vaguely, in articles and academic writing on the subjects of high-frequency trading as being the toughest challenge for the private firm Spread Networks who commissioned the project, because of the hard limestone known as ‘blue rock’. In October 2014 I undertook a trip to the region, intrigued by what I would find there. Dotted in between pastoral landscapes of cornfields, local Amish communities, vast forests, national parks and small mountain towns are the occasional signifier of this vast project– a small white and orange poll. However, the line itself, being an inch and a half wide, does not hold particular significance in terms of its monumental impact on the environment. Rather, I am drawn to what this landscape represents as a topographic survey of economics, the incongruous relationship between the local and the global and the invisible presence of financial markets in a seemingly vernacular landscape. 2014 *Michael Lewis, Flash Boys   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56edc2e860b5e97bda65c296/1501407814101-MBKQARMVCBNZ8516BVO8/Lantarote_still.png Projects - Subsidence (forthcoming) ‘Subsidence’ is primarily an exploration into sound. It includes field recordings collected over the past five years from various locations including data centers and subterranean bunkers to the steppe of Kazakhstan. Using radio atmospheric signal recorders to capture the natural sound of the earth as well as coil mics to record electromagnetic frequencies emitted from technological devices, these tools provide access to an invisible layer of reality. The moving image footage is shot on location in the volcanic island of Lanzarote. The piece seeks to create an immersive experience of environments with a parallel existence of past and present.

The film is a story about the physical existence of nuclear waste in the world today, but it is also a science fiction story about a speculative future and its inhabitants. 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56edc2e860b5e97bda65c296/1458423598997-SF75TEIWHZXH7ZAVTMZJ/Untitled_1.5.38edit.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56edc2e860b5e97bda65c296/1458425123625-LT6XZLBDUVG65RTYB655/FOM_web_4.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56edc2e860b5e97bda65c296/1458596632280-DQRZ5S9A94XDXS7VPY9Q/RCA_Publication_EmmaCharles_2_o.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56edc2e860b5e97bda65c296/1458841063695-L4H5RLG2U2TC798W06Y2/Vents+2012+%231edit.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56edc2e860b5e97bda65c296/1462190633352-DLC3O3KYFQM9V2HKCNF9/mopandbucket_small.jpg Projects http://www.emma-charles.com/blog daily 0.75 2017-07-30 http://www.emma-charles.com/blog/2017/7/30/festival-abandon-normal-devices monthly 0.5 2017-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56edc2e860b5e97bda65c296/1501412429671-HVGKKJVNVCY5NQFIZES1/EmmaCharles_WM1.jpg News -
