Dale Hardiman on daydreaming

Over the past 12 years I’ve been working in a way I describe as ‘professionally amateur’. I’ll share a selection of projects whereby this is evident, from an installation made up of hacked broken iPhones, an exhibition that had a website ran entirely from a solar power panel in the front of the building (so when the sun went down, the website went down), to an international vase exhibition with 203 exhibitors from 12 countries that cost $50 to organise.
