N1 - The REMOTE exhibition and symposia resulted from a series of residencies during the summer of 2002 for artists working with new technologies in the Highlands of Scotland, responding to either the physical or social environments they encountered. The project was developed by Fildes and McPherson in collaboration with New Media Scotland. The other artists involved were Radioqualia, Craighead & Thomson, and Cavan Convery. Fildes and McPherson created 3 works 'If I follow you, do we make a path?’, a slow motion composite journey along ‘the most dangerous road in Britain’ in which obvious traces of human activity have been either edited out or marked for improvement. In exploring the idea of the Scottish landscape as an entity, constructed to fulfill the on-going need – local, national and international - for an idyllic rural wilderness, the artists wanted to draw attention to the fact that, by labelling an environment and trying to make it fulfill certain expectations, we are in danger of over-looking the ever-evolving shape and dynamic of that environment and the people who inhabit it.
