About

30 Days is an interactive outdoor media piece by artist Felix Loftus, which will run throughout June at Brixworth Country Park. Based on sustainable computing principles, the work is an experiment in bringing a public camera and signpost into common use where members of the public can contribute to a growing image of the landscape.

The work involves two pieces. A solar powered camera on a platform that can be rotated 360 degrees by turning a hand crank, plus an e-paper screen displaying of the captured views of Brixworth.

30 Days draws inspiration from the history of resistance to enclosure in Britain and the Otmoor Rebellion – where commoners waited until the light of the full moon to access the landscape. In reference to this act, the solar powered photographic system will build up images over a lunar cycle beginning on 1 June 2025, stitching together images from those who have interacted during that period into a 360 degree image of the site.

Visit Brixworth Country Park throughout June to see the work in action or visit online to view the public images and learn more about less resource intensive technology: www.fermynwoods.org/30-days-at-brixworth

Funded by Northamptonshire Community Foundation’s Creative Climate Action Fund, 30 Days is the next event in Fermynwoods Contemporary Art’s thematic Love + Light programme, which seeks to address the climate crisis by fostering awareness, inspiring action, and cultivating a deeper connection with the Earth and its inhabitants, promoting solace and the sense that we are part of something greater than ourselves.
