Susan Collins has donated artwork Fenlandia 5 July 2004, 18:43pm.

From May 2004, Susan Collins installed webcams in various sites over a year long period. The webcams were programmed to record images a pixel a second, so that a whole image was built up of individual pixels collected over 21.33 hours. Each image was collected from top to bottom and left to right in horizontal bands continuously. This image comes from a camera installed at the Anchor Inn, Sutton Gault in the area of Cambridgeshire known as Silicon Fen.

The work explores the relationship between landscape, time and technology. It encodes the landscape over time, with different tonal horizontal bands recording fluctuations in light and movement throughout the day and with broad bands of black depicting nighttime. Stray pixels appear in the image where a bird, person, car or other unidentifiable object may have passed in front of the webcam as the pixel was captured.
