to bristol for the “narrative/non-narrative/anti-narrative conference” held at the the watershed to follow on from the encounters film festival. never fails to amuse me that the watershed, forever home of the exploratory in my child’s head, is still relevant to my life.
while i am placeholder blog post mode, highlights to be elaborated are

i started writing an essay about this gig - the light surgeons performed “true fictions” and d-fuse presented “surface”, both huge and important works shown to a sell-out audience on the biggest screen in europe - but the window of opportunity to get it coherent let alone finished has passed for now, so here is a placeholder to say at least to say it happened.
thanks to laura fiorio for the photo

mike recommended popping by this exhibition on the way home. glad i did: critics say playful and profound, i say yep nice idea but totally transformed in its execution. best bit of public space interaction i’ve seen in ages (and thats including just having been to a festival with that by-line…!).

not part of imageradio, but across the road in the now dwarfed original philips factory, was the re-ACT exhibition, combining light and interactivity. some beauty, like swarm pictured, but generally really disappointing interactivity - most of them were barely reactive. makes you wonder why you didn’t propose something.
…and the juvenile still finds “kunstlicht in de kunst” funny.

so this lady is watching a film as if it were through her own eyes, and right now her hand is being slobbered all over by a dog. except that its obviously not, it is mamabert is mimicking that with a hand puppet. truly memorable, truly live and a performance, and such an obvious idea: why isn’t everybody doing this, its “the feelies” for real.

the last ‘live cinema’ event, this was a complete surprise. looking at the little light-stage, i was charmed but could only imagine a few minutes of interest in whatever shadows it could produce. how wrong: a complete tour-de-force, taking a certain aesthetic and exploring it fully and brilliantly. http://www.opticalmachines.nl

totally impressive: the status project. if anyone talks about sticking it to “the man”, well this is “the system”, mapped by heath bunting.

“the times they are the changes”, and so there was a crazy opening party for their exhibition at mu gallery. fancy-dress a-go-go for those in the know, and standing around incredulously for those not.

nik and adam of novak exchange cards with matthias kispert… somehow looks quite cold war shady.

kinetxt over, onto the evening’s ‘live cinema’ performance ‘the nature of being’ by scanner and olga mink. two quality artists, some super-beautiful moments and a ‘state-of-flux-cinematic-experience’ achieved. as neatly summed up by nik tho’, the path well travelled.

6pm: kinetxt is go. and the other innovation: its recording itself, so it can spend the rest of its time at the imageradio exhibition iterating through the opening night’s perfomance.

two anglepoise lamps on the desk, smart and suitably adjustable, but light only seems to be coming out of one of them…

eek, slightly daunting: an hour interview to highlight how “the artist’s work” relates to the theme. and there’s me still not entirely comfortable with the idea of myself as an artist…

this is during the ‘straight’ performance of latitude, essentially an edit. as i hoped, there was call for an encore and i had vdmx ready for a much more layered, graphical remix. its so gratifying when an improvisation like that goes really well, especially when the time you’d planned to rehearse and shape it was taken with dealing with after effects consistently crashing half way through the updated led renders.

weird to see the clarity of this photo against my blurred impression from within the performance. having been told there was upward of a thousand people out there waiting to see us, they are of course in pitch black it being a theatre/cinema and i couldn’t see anything… until the moment came to release the secret weapon, bathing the place in light when we got to the buddha-like moment before knocking it down to highlights of the imagery.
