Abstract

This paper reflects on the author’s experiences of a residency in Gyumri, Armenia, during the research and relationship-building phase of #3CityLink. In particular it focuses on an artwork entitled Carousel made in response to this context. Through a series of participatory interventions mirroring one another across geographically disparate communities Carousel references faulty, and disrupted technological systems of communication to critique the interrupted and disrupted aspects of social relationships. Drawing on Bruno Latour’s Actor Network Theory, the author challenges notions of the self-preserving system and examines the potential for translocal, dialogic art practices to create new forms of conversation and engender meaningful work. These findings are mapped back on to the #3CityLink project
