Puppet Parade

From Motionographer - "Britain’s Big Six energy companies are at the center of a political storm over ethical violations and the lack of progress in moving toward green energy. Amid leaks that company executives are earning up to £4m while an increasing number of British customers have found themselves in fuel poverty, Ecotricity —a company promising to change the way energy is made in the UK— has stepped forward with an undeniably cute, albeit thought-provoking public service announcement to promote their philosophy in supporting clean forms of power. Collapsing Cooling Towers is a call-to-action and asks the people of Britain to stop the Big Six by joining Ecotricity and vote their conscience with their electric bill."

Call for Video Narratives at MIX Conference

Submissions are invited for video narratives of 3 minutes or less to be exhibited at The Pound Arts Centre, as part of the MIX Conference at Corsham Court, Bath Spa University, July 16th – 18th, 2012. Curators Sarah Tremlett and Lucy English welcome entries which use any form of video-based text; however, following the discovery of a series of Fluxus-related prints at Corsham Court, (the original home of Bath Academy of Art and now a centre for postgraduate study), we would be particularly interested in videos which respond to the theme of one of the prints entitled Liberated Words (Parole in Libertà by Eugenio Carmi, 1967).

Sculptural Musical Score

"Recently, I have begun translating weather data collected in cities into musical scores, which are then translated into sculptures as well as being a source for collaboration with musicians. These pieces are not only devices that map meteorological conditions of a specific time and place, but are also functional musical scores to be played by musicians. While musicians have freedom to interpret, they are asked not to change the essential relationship of the notes to ensure that what is still heard is indeed the meteorological relationship of weather data.
