Cascades - our new poster

Cascades

Getting ready for our new interactive projection piece Cascades.

Cascades is an interactive digital artwork for urban spaces. Using projected digital imagery and technology we seek to pose questions about how we use our urban spaces, how we look at them and how we move within them.

Kit has been arriving and we have got a great Infra red tracking system working. Today I am going to be testing some of the set ups and visuals. Here is an image of the demo processing patches we are working on.

We Launch 2nd December at the Belgrade Theatre Coventry and then transfer the piece to the Bubble Chamber, now at 21-25 Hertford Street, the old JJB Shop thanks to some support from 3space.org

Cascades will be live after dark every night till January 2nd

Glow Available to Tour

Glow is an interactive digital game created by artists Oliver Scott and Ashley Brown for Coventry’s City Arcade. Three interactive screens were displayed in the windows of the Bubble Chamber to encourage animation, creativity and enjoyment. Viewers’ were excited as their movement was captured on camera and translated into eye-catching graphics which evolve over time. The photo shows Glow in a shop window of Coventry's busy City Arcade.

Glow & Micro Conference

Glow - An interactive digital game

Come to our new, free exhibition bringing an unexpected glow to Coventry’s City Arcade this month. On May 19 we will host a micro conference about the successes of working in empty shops as part of Emerge networking with presentations due to begin at 5.30pm.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in the event. We hope our exhibition inspires animation, creativity and enjoyment.

Glow - work in progress

An exhibition of new digital art will be presented at The Bubble Chamber on May 19th from 5.15-6.30pm. For an exciting preview of what the interactive work may look like visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/airvent-media/5662172624/in/photostream/

Outside In

A couple of stills from our rehearsal process

Dancers are responding to the landscape of the Arcade as monitors and microphones bring sound and visuals from the Outside In, forming the basis for a spontaneous performance. The rehearsal process is made transparent by CCTV style video of activity inside the venue.
