Delivery to the Following Recipient Failed Permanently

Synopsis Delivery to the Following Recipient Failed Permanently, is visually restrained compared with his usual experiential overload. There is, though, an astonishing monologue, designed to invoke a material sense of the word smoke like a haemorrhage in your brain. The Guardian The work echoes themes hinted at in Atkins’ Frieze 2011 film commission Delivery To The Following Recipient Failed Permanently, in which the clarity of the message is secondary to exploring the medium viewers are looking at it through. In a post-Blair Witch scenario where an event is hinted at but never fully revealed, Atkins clashes an overwhelming spoken monologue with highly ambiguous visuals, such as the back of a head, to create a menacing vagueness. The purpose? To physically affect the audience, lose them in a foggy cloud of code, and get them to question the fragility of video as well as other digital work.
