Bram Stoker medal

Classical scene; three figures. Awarded to David Broadfoot Carter. Inscribed obverse: "Glasgow School of Art, Bram Stoker Medal for the best imaginative work of the year/ D.Broadfoot Carter 1903".

Bram Stoker was an Irish novelist, known especially for the Gothic horror novel Dracula. Stoker was a friend of Francis and Jessie Newbery. The Newberys met Bram Stoker as well as Charles Rennie and Margaret Macdonald at a Glasgow Theatre in 1896. After the play, Newbery invited the Stokers and Mackintoshes to GSA, and Stoker mentioned he was working on a vampire novel. The Newberys offered their cottage at Cruden Bay in the North East of Scotland to Stoker to help him finish his novel ‘Dracula’. To repay his kindness, Stoker established the Bram Stoker medal, awarded to the most imaginative piece of work. GSA Director Tony Jones decided to revive the award in 1982, when it was awarded to Steven Campbell.

Control My Bodiless Form: CYBERSPACE A NEEDY BITCH

Part 1 of video triptych. Control My Bodiless Form is a video triptych melding Swedish folk music with stories from cyberspace. The three audio-visual pieces offer a satirical and absurd look at the numbness, joy, and horror that exists online. In July 2022, an anonymous survey was sent out via social media. It asked things like:

What’s the worst interaction you’ve had in cyberspace?

What’s the loveliest interaction you’ve had in cyberspace?

What do other people do on the internet that you find embarrassing?

What have you done on the internet that you regret?

For anyone who has been on the internet, this next part won’t be all that shocking. Responses were often long paragraphs, recounting experiences of grooming, doxxing, antisemitism, stalking, trolling, homophobia, racism, and self harm. There were also stories of finding community, inspiration, creativity, even romantic love. Stories of disassociation and apathy. The responses were woven into lyrics, and put to three pieces of music. The result is three audio-visual pieces, filled with the warmth of 20-layer harmonies, cow herding calls, organs, and accordions, as well as the menacing detachment of AI voices and Weircore aesthetics. A strange amalgamation of the natural and digital, examining what on earth is happening to us in cyberspace.
