Ghost Signals: Anthony Kelly and David Stalling
Recently there has been a set of experiments suggesting that these various manifestations of material can be “carried over into” each other - in other words, they can switch from one form to the other and, under certain conditions, back again…Researchers have shown in the last few years that for atoms and photons - and now, electrons - “both/and” and “either/or” exist side-by-side. In other words, there is a grey zone of complementarity. There are therefore experimentally demonstrable conditions in which the material appears to be both a wave and a particle.
These situations can be described with a duality relation. It can be seen as an extended Complementarity Principle for quantum physics; it can also be labelled a co-existence principle. It says that manifestations of material which would normally be mutually exclusive - e.g., local and not local, coherent and not coherent - are indeed measurable and make themselves evident, in a particular “transition area”. One can speak of partial localisation and partial coherence, or partial visibility and partial differentiability. These are measurements that are connected to each other via the duality relation.

Ghost Signals is a gathering of lost material from both locations exploring the band widths between the two areas (physically and metaphysically) noting the loss of energie(s) occurring during the transmission. Collected materials are in the form of analogue and digital recorded artifacts. These various recordings can be photographic images, drawings, field recordings and objects found in and between both sites. There is a documentary element to this set of pieces, which attempts to establish a creative link between the two points of potential communication.
