3 CHRIS WATSON Friday the 13th

The fall had ruptured his spleen. Driven out of the valley, it took the Land Rover nearly seven hours to reach the George IV hotel, they were desperate, but too late... The feast took place and later the musicians played on the very roof where Nickifi had last spoken to the traitor Dris before he was murdered by the daughters of The Magrha. Friday 13th Sept. 1996. Ouarzazate. Morocco

20 TOBIAS FRERE&endash;JONES F-Hz (#190736, 1996)

No single format, even the 'original', can convey all aspects of information's meaning. Format is not inherent in any piece of information. Format is applied later, and thus can be changed. When trauma becomes neurosis, or when work becomes money, another facet of the same content is shown. F-Hz (#190736, 1996) deals in a deliberately mundane subject - the weather. The high and low temperature for each day in 1996, as recorded at Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory in Milton, Massachusetts, is converted to audible form. For each of the seven hundred and thirty-two readings, the unit of measure is switched, Fahrenheit to Hertz. With one-tenth of a second for each reading, F-Hz (#190736, 1996) recounts an entire year of climate in a sequence of sine waves. Aside from the one-tenth second interval, every aspect of the composition is 'found', written by the natural world
