Optical telegraph inspiration

A major inspiration for Hillaballoo is the view from the hill and the history of the hill as site of an optical telegraph station. So, I was really excited at the Goldsmiths degree show to come across an artist called Ellie Chaney who has been researching and making work about the optical telegraph. See http://www.elliechaney.com/artwork.php?templateid=2&artworkid=30

She has been walking and filming the route of one of the chains to Great Yarmouth and plans this summer to film the route from Telegraph Hill. She has agreed to take part in Hillaballoo, which is fantastic.
