I love this picture, it only recently arrived amongst the final batch from our photographer at The Call of Cthulhu event at the EIFF. No reason to post, other than it being MY website and you SEE what I decide. Tomorrow, a picture of a kitten in a blender.

Tales of Two Cities

With an OCD fury not seen since the woman in the Shake 'n Vac advert ground her Valium and mixed it with a glug of Bacardi, I've been plugging the cracks in this site and pasting up former production duties with a vengeance. My personal favourites A Wall is a Screen now have a page to themselves, as do the rapidly expanding MegaPhone team - flying the flag for those of us who see no reason why computer games should progress beyond the Atari era. Once upon a festival, The Light Surgeons conjured up a storm in a Gothic salon and The Royal Opera House treat us to no fewer than twelve outdoor relays in the past five years.

The Huge Entity

The Huge Entity
The programme for moves09 has now been revealed, and we have not one, not two, but three new commissions for the Big Screen Liverpool. First up, screen chum Sam Meech (of The Model City notoriety and spoken of in reverential tones by local fame-crazed insects, eager for a starring role in the sequel) returns with The Huge Entity - which will also include a live intervention by dancer Mary Prestidge. Take it away Sam…

“Using the camera on top of the Big Screen to provide a live video feed, the images are processed in real-time using a software called Isadora. As people move through the space, on screen this is re-presented as coloured trails of movement. This may or may not make people aware of their routes as they navigate through the passing shoppers. Those people who become aware of the trails of energy they leave may begin to then play with that, moving in new ways through the space and deliberately crossing the paths of other people."
