Living Landscapes

I went to the rather sumptuous Living Landscapes AHRC conference at Aberystwyth last week - packed with interesting performances, installations, papers and plenarys.. and a performance workshop (7am in the woods - nice weather, phew!) Ideas emerging, areas of interest re-inforced, met a few old friends, and many more new.

There's a bit more about it on the Strata blog

Descending Angel on National Library Sounds, forest art and simultaneous intercontinental performance - documented in the summary session!

Simon Whitehead performance...another inter-continental collaboration...magical

In the woods, ideas for a future piece of work...

Something More: 3 short films from walks on Whitesheet

These 3 films are taken from the walk traced in the previous post on Whitesheet Hill with an early r&d version of the mediascape 'Something More'.

The content for Something More explored my own response to this ancient, panoramic ssi landscape through video, photography and work with fused & cast glass. 

The edits of the different films are the direct result of the walker's choice, path and pace.

This early r&d version uses just a small selection of content to test different combinations with the mediascape technology. The full version would offer choices of theme (peopled landscape, natural landscape, glasswork) in addition to music, and would comprise many more specific zones and extended content.
