The project involved the formation of a group comprising of fifteen individuals who worked alongside the artist in the production of a new body of video work. The process involved the artist introducing the group to methodologies and approaches used by artists when producing new work, from the initial concept and research stages through to the execution and presentation of work.

As part of the commission the artist established a video edit suite which will be used by the group and wider community in the future to document their own lives and activities. Included in the editing suite is a G5 iMac Computer with editing software, video camera, tripod and video projector. The group formed their own committee and meet on a regular basis. They also screen their work during local festivals.

Michael Fortune studied Fine Art, specialising in video and performance, at Limerick School of Art, where he graduated with a first class honours degree.  His work explores the circumstantial boundaries between art and culture, folklore and interpretation, fact and fiction.
