IOCT Salon in partnership with City Gallery, Leicester: Sarah Jacobs, Thursday 28th June 2007, 6.30pm - 7.30pm

Sarah Jacobs is a sculptor whose work includes making objects, performance, installation, books on paper, and books in electronic form. She habitually makes use of everyday materials – plasticine and sticky tape, pdfs and powerpoint.
Her 'Deciphering Human Chromosome 16: Index to the Report' is an e-book which contains links to around 250 websites collected in the months following publication in the journal Nature of "The sequence and analysis of duplication-rich human chromosome 16" ( Vol. 432. December 2004). Its contents change over time as the websites change, migrate or disappear. The Index sets fragments collected from the websites against the background of the earlier draft sequence originally published by Project Gutenberg. The solid physicality of the Index contrasts with the ever changing Report although vagaries of the printing process ensure that each copy of the Index is unique.
Sarah will be talking about the interaction between the physical form of her work and its meaning and about the possibilities opened up by making work in electronic form.
Please note: this event will be held at and in partnership with the City Gallery, 90 Granby Street, Leicester
