More recently CutUp have started other projects such as replacing small buss shelter advertisements with a drilled sheet of wood. The illuminating back lights that turn on at dusk revel an image as the many holes light up against a dark background. The concealed advertisement is still partially visible adding to the traceable memory of the buss shelters transformation. Working in public space seems to be and important conceptual element of CutUp's work, however my attraction to the group stems from a fascination with their use of existing platforms to display works and inspire ideas. In particular i am interested in considering how i can incorporate lighting in public spaces into the Site Specificity brief.Although CutUp mainly deal with art on the street, the group have also created installations, including setting 96 different alarm clocks one minute apart and other sound installations, made up of 94 speakers, mini disks and circuit boards.
