Innova Notations.

X was bathed in an orange hue as it sat with its head in its hands under a lamp outside the Innova Centre – Vaconsoft Parkway.

It observed as the lights went out within the the platinum covered building. The sillhouette of a cleaner donning blue overalls moved around the staircase set the lights on again. She dissappeared into another room.

X shivered in the car park below.

A male figure, perhaps a security guard looked into the distance from the third floor.

The cleaner re-appeared holding a mop and bucket.

a bearded guy in his late 20’s/early 30’s left via the front entrance.

The blackbirds appeared to follow the traffic along Poineso Freeway in the distance.

A track suited balding guy in his fifties walked across the emptying car park clutching a white box.

A figure waving from the entrance of the Innova Centre – the cleaner. She was polishing the windows with vigour.

Unnoticed, X waved back at her.

The cleaner picked up her mop with bucket and faded into the Innova darkness.

An artist is waiting in Citrosa cafe on Vaconsoft Parkway – North Pointeso.

Kelia takes another swig of her flavourless tea. The whispered hum of digitised conversation coming from the gobs of suited curators and agents are chilling her to the bone.

She looks out of the window.

The crows are back outside on the astroturf chomping pixels.

She is scrolling on her tablet.

‘ambitious exceptional artist networks’ who ‘are ready to take their person centred work to the multi-national market’. The residency will be in ‘an unusual space ‘. Shortlisted artists will take to our bespoke singular commissioning process, born from an open-ended conversation with an artist offered the opportunity to imagine something extraordinary. The Vellestico agency is powered by a quasi ecclesiastical belief that artists (per se) are capable of creating visionary works which impact upon the way we view our world, our times and ourselves in idiosyncratique and enduring ways.’

She coughs splintered red pixels into a pale hankerchief before heading on down to the gallery floor.
