Bonnie Camplin’s installation for a Needle Walks into a Haystake, The DSV (2014), was a magnification technology for the enhanced observation of small objects. It incorporated an ultra-specific protocol. A serious commitment to this protocol is necessary for a successful application of the technology.
The system employed synaesthetic and subtle energetic principles in the organisation of audio-visual energy patterns that were designed to direct the sensorial mind towards a particular state — one that is particularly receptive to the information patterns in objects small enough to fit in the palm of the hand, such as a nail-file, a lipstick or a cigarette lighter.
