"Highly Strung" by Dave Jones.

The performance of Highly Strung featuring the giant 14 meter puppet took place on the night of October 28th 2011 during the Nati Frinj festival. The puppet took ten people to operate and had animation (largely created by the children at the local primary school) projected onto it from projectors mounted both on the ground and in the head of the puppet itself. Music by Stephen Oakes

Filmed by, Jacqui Schulz, Dave Jones, Gareth Llewellin and Cindi Drennan

DELUSION - an interactive light installation

Fit into the crowd by Julien-Robert

Piece for bass clarinet, computer and reactive video.
Performed by Krista Martynes, 9 min. 20.
Music and image by Julien-Robert Legault Salvail, March 2011.

"Finding a musical juxtaposition between trying to create security and finding one’s place, Fit into the crowd is based on a visual image of a character trying to musically find that place while keeping the urban security around them, with a tape part of different phrases commonly said for the sake of security like: I shouldn’t step too far out of place; It’s better to not take risks; Art beware, everything has been done."

Video animation / Digital drawing / 3D: weiss by Florian Grolig
In the middle of white is monotone balance, jolly blasé marking time. One definition of space is the absence of embarrassing contact. But gridlock is definitely death.

Audiovisual short film: Ionisation by Flat-e.

The project began life as a film to accompany a performance by the London Sinfonietta of Edgard Vareses Ionisation. An inspiring 20th century composer who pioneered works that cross over into the electronic scene of today.
The piece shows what you can achieve when people collaborate in an unventilated environment where superglue fumes outweigh the oxygen 6:1.
