A series<br \/>\nof small spherical sculptures are the result of Beattie\u2019s<br \/>\nsmelting and extraction of precious metals from catalytic<br \/>\nconverters in automobiles. Tokens also gently refers to the<br \/>\nsite of its exhibition, at the archaeological remains of The<br \/>\nHall of the Red Earl in Galway. It was discovered during<br \/>\nexcavations in the 1990s that the medieval structure was<br \/>\nreused as a furnace for iron smelting in the sixteenth and<br \/>\nseventeenth centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Beattie notes: \u2018Promoted as an efficient way of reducing air<br \/>\npollutants in vehicles, catalytic converters contain precious<br \/>\nmetals that are resold to extract the value of these metals.<br \/>\nHaving been heavily processed initially to manufacture the<br \/>\noriginal catalytic converter, the \u201cscrap\u201d car part is then later<br \/>\nput through another round of extractive processes to obtain<br \/>\nminiscule amounts of rare metals.\u2019 Criminal gangs are<br \/>\noften reported stealing catalytic converters before setting<br \/>\nup makeshift smelting operations to distil their bounty.<br \/>\nCorporate industry even attempted to claim responsible<br \/>\naction around the topic. In 2014, Reuters released a story<br \/>\nwith the headline \u2018\u00a3100,000 each year from dust swept off<br \/>\nstreets. It reported that every day, catalytic converters in<br \/>\ncars spit out minute particles of platinum and palladium<br \/>\nthat end up in road sweepings gathered by waste recyclers,<br \/>\nlike industrial conglomerate Veolia. They claimed to have<br \/>\nstarted filtering out these precious metals from the 40,000<br \/>\ntonnes of dust it treats per year. \u2018We have a surface mine<br \/>\non our city streets, Estelle Brachlianoff, head of Veolia UK<br \/>\nand Ireland, told reporters. The story was later debunked<br \/>\nas a greenwashing exercise. Beattie reflects that, \u2018Ina<br \/>\nconstant state of becoming something else, these minerals<br \/>\nhighlight the commodification of natural resources, and the<br \/>\nenvironmental impact of mineral extraction.<\/p>\n<p>More artworks on display by Beattie include Shifting<br \/>\nForms, an exploration of the use of mimicry in the ongoing<br \/>\ndevelopment and pursuit of artificial intelligence, seen<br \/>\nwith an ultraviolet fly zapper, robotic vacuum cleaner, and<br \/>\ncollection of carnivorous plants together in a domestic<br \/>\nmise-en-sc\u00e9ne of Beattie\u2019s making. Erratic invites the viewer<br \/>\nto \u2018activate\u2019 a printed photograph of a rock using augmented<br \/>\nreality and a smartphone. Another variation on this theme,<br \/>\nRemnants, examines mythology, folklore and oral history in<br \/>\nthe age of digital reproduction and algorithmic narratives.<br \/>\nMade during an artist residency at Askeaton Contemporary<br \/>\nArts, Beattie conducted extensive fieldwork around sites of<br \/>\nancient ritual at nearby Grange stone circle. In navigating<br \/>\nthe resulting 3D digital scan, an accompanying story about<br \/>\nthe site generated by Al continually interrupts, resets and<br \/>\nchanges, seemingly unable to grasp the extent and richness<br \/>\nof the world we live in.<\/p>\n<p>Tulca website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulca.ie\/\">https:\/\/www.tulca.ie\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Beattie\u2019s Tokens is a new artwork commissioned for TULCA, produced from redundant car parts and exploring the value of waste material in a carbon-based society.
