Unravel
A disparate collection of personal moments becomes an articulation of the universal notion of loss. The pale blue jumper has a trajectory through the world that acts as a metaphor for the life of any one or any thing. It’s story is spoken, while the visual elements of the video allude to the ways in which we incorporate a life-changing death into a lived experience.
Maggie Hall (UK)
Rolling Drawing
“I produce work without a narrative and verbal content, work that exists purely to be experienced communicating a semi-intuitive understanding. I want to leave my work open to the formation of ideas and concepts rather than react to them. Recently I have begun to merge the initial creation of my work with the final product, recreating a version of the process. These works intend to compress, contain and capture the initial energy and tensions revealed in their creation.”

Tom Walker (UK)
Spin
“My work draws from sources such as performance art history, jackass and youtube and it is from these that I extrapolate the ridiculous, the futile and failure of actions or moments in order to create my work. These stimuli can either be used as a trigger or directly within the work, the videos always feature me, after all if one cannot make an ass of one’s self then what is the point? Maybe it is I who is laughing at me, laughing at you, laughing at me.”

This animation combines performance, video and photography to digitally transform human movements to create kaleidoscopic patterns. This work explores how digital media uses replication to reconfigure a digitized single moving body into infinite animated mutations.
