Pretoria, South Africa, July 16, 2009. After her operation on Monday, my mom was in a relatively good condition and the following day she was clearly in pain. Unfortunately it's been all downhill since then, and she has slipped further and further into hallucination and delusion, totally out of touch with reality. It's very disturbing and draining both physically and emotionally, and my sublimated stress has led to chronic neck pain. So things are quite uncomfortable right now. Tough times, exacerbated by the Swine Flu explosion in the UK that I find very worrying, especially as under-5's seem to be among the most vulnerable. Otherwise all is well and I'm reflecting on the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11 - a great memory from my childhood :-)

As with many of the smaller retail co-operatives, the story of the Park Lane Friendly Co-operative Society in the latter half of the 20th century is one of mergers and regionalisation. In 1971 the business of the Park Lane Society was transferred to the Bolton & Wigan Regional Co-operative Society. The Bolton & Wigan was itself the product of a merger in 1970 of the Wigan Co-operative Society (established 1889) with the Bolton & District Co-operative Society (originally, from 1859, the Bolton Co-operative Society).
Initially the large Gerard St store was retained by the Bolton & Wigan Society, but most of the original Park Lane branch stores were deemed no longer fit for purpose and several – including those at Billinge Rd, 184 Downall Green Rd and Pewfall- had closed by 1973. An advertorial in The Wigan Observer on 2 February -“It's All Happening At The Co-op”- declared that “[the] management … has killed an outworn image of old-fashioned co-op shops in the past decade and it's brought the Bolton and Wigan Regional Co-operative Society into the front rank of multiple traders catering for the very demanding needs of the modern shopper....”. At the Downall Green Rd site, the Society was granted outline planning permission to build “a pair of houses or one bungalow adjacent to 186 Downall Green Road” (Wigan Archives ref. UD/Ash/A/A1/97). At Bryn Cross, the Park Lane Society had already applied for permission to replace the original Central Stores with a new supermarket and office development but this had been refused by the planning authority in September 1971 (UD/Ash/A/A1/95). Instead, a new “superstore” was built for the Bolton & Wigan Society a few metres to the north of the original site, opening to the public on 6 April 1973. Shortly after this, in May 1973, Kingsway Construction Co (Lancs) was granted permission to build 8 smaller retail units on the former Central Stores site (UD/Ash/A/A1/97).

How many human bodies can fit inside a digital image of a body, or the recording of its voice? What is the scalar relation between digital data and the material of the world we inhabit? This project aims to performatively explore the absurd extremes of scalar difference we encounter every day as contemporary citizens of technocracy.
How many people can fit in a terabyte? How many carbon nano-fibres does it take to weave my underwear? As the quantities and volumes we encounter reach ever further to the extremes of size and smallness the old notion of human scale appears to obsolesce. Yet the Human scale is our standard of all human meaning, and this hasn't changed yet, or has it?
