IDLE goes public

Idle Assessment – Hall & Sweeney.
Hall & Sweeney present ‘Idle Assessment’, on the glass screen at Broadway Nottingham throughout August. The work questions who we can trust to give us judgement that is of both value and worth. Humorously, Hall and Sweeney represent themselves as talent show panel members passing randomized arbitrary judgement, without subjectivity or objectivity, upon the immediate surroundings and it’s inhabitants.

Idle Assessment is taken from a larger body of work titled ‘IDLE’ that looks at the effortless ways in which technology has allowed people to class themselves as ‘a creative’.

Thomas Hall & Thomas Sweeney are both artists who use technology as tools for creating art works. Both Hall and Sweeney are East Midlands based.
