2019 - Incidental Points | three video/anoamtion installation
Incidental Points
The video installation ‘The Incidental Points’ is part of a series of collaborative works by two artists: Paul Eachus and Nooshin Farhid. It comprises a mixture of installations, animations, texts and moving image.
The work explores the notion of cybernetic surveillance, data-mining and violence; it loosely revolves around a pseudo-futuristic science fiction in which a quasi-autonomous bullet moving along a straight line in a slow motion, like an automated killing machine; a dispassionate cybernetic voice act as a central mind, pursuing human haunts, translating the bodies into ‘targets’ for remote monitoring and annihilation.
The symbols of Power, authority, control and technology are in place yet, intermittently, the system fails; its stability gives way to malfunction and flux.

Definition
In geometry, an incidence relation is a heterogeneous relation that captures the idea being expressed when phrases such as "a point lies on a line" or "a line is contained in a plane" are used. The most basic incidence relation is that between a point, P, and a line, l, sometimes denoted P I l. If P I l the pair (P, l) is called a flag. There are many expressions used in common language to describe incidence (for example, a line passes through a point, a point lies in a plane, etc.) but the term "incidence" is preferred because it does not have the additional connotations that these other terms have, and it can be used in a symmetric manner. Statements such as "line l1 intersects line l2" are also statements about incidence relations, but in this case, it is because this is a shorthand way of saying that "there exists a point P that is incident with both line l1 and line l2". When one type of object can be thought of as a set of the other type of object (viz., a plane is a set of points) then an incidence relation may be viewed as containment.
Statements such as "any two lines in a plane meet" are called incidence propositions. This particular statement is true in a projective plane, though not true in the Euclidean plane where lines may be parallel. Historically, projective geometry was developed in order to make the propositions of incidence true without exceptions, such as those caused by the existence of parallels. From the point of view of synthetic geometry, projective geometry should be developed using such propositions as axioms. This is most significant for projective planes due to the universal validity of Desargues' theorem in higher dimensions.
In contrast, the analytic approach is to define projective space based on linear algebra and utilizing homogeneous co-ordinates. T
