Featured artists

Kenneth A Huff - Contemplations: 2005.2

Today’s frenetic, rapid-cut popular media serves as foil to the intent of Contemplations, a series of animated works exploring patterns and forms inspired by the intricate complexities and rhythms of nature. This work from the series, 2005.2, shows slowly-evolving solid and transparent forms. With no set beginning or end, the work allows the viewer to become lost in the complex, organically-shifting details and provides an engaging, calming point of contemplation.

Julian Konczak - 25-URBAN

The work is a slice of urban archeology - it moves through visual representations of the city and its tendency to continually renew itself. Regeneration, peeling paint, marginal areas, zones ear-marked for demolition all form part of this global urban tapestry. We are given a continual vision of a pockmarked rubble, harsh strong colours that have over-spilled from graffiti remind us how the urban zone is both subject to the forces of nature and the appropriation of spaces by sub-cultures.

Richard Vickers - 15 x 15

15 x 15 uses Andy Warhol’s famous statement ‘in the future, everyone will be famous for five minutes’, and advances it into the 21st century with new media technology. Anyone can contribute to the work with a mobile phone and be famous, for 15 seconds.

Karen Reed - Integrity versus Despair

Integrity versus Despair is a mobile phone film, that deals with how ubiquitous technology really influences our lives. The cultural changes that have occurred particularly with regard to what is private vs. public. The film involves the artist’s parents and family all trying to bridge the generation gap with regard to using this ubiquitous technology.

Geska Helena Andersson & Robert Brecevic - Kids on the Slide

Children. You never know where they are. And when they appear, they always seem to be out of context. ‘Kids on the Slide’ is a responsive film installation that tells the little tales of kids that “come out and play” in urban settings that have rarely been depicted as playgrounds.

Working with large screens, cameras and sensors ‘Kids on the Slide’ centres around movement and reflection. It challenges the notion of ‘the performer’: who is conjuring who?

James Roper - Anime Abstracts

The compositions in the ‘Anime Abstracts’ series are constructed using cut-outs sourced from Manga and Anime that are then reassembled to form a body built from a swarming mass of parts that either stretches across a monochrome void or engulfs the picture completely.
