The project involves ten artists selected from Interspace, Sofia (BG) and IDEA, Manchester (UK) who have a sustained interest in the moving image, its intervention in public space and the potential for exchange and interaction between artist and audience using new media technologies. Firstly shown at The National Palace of Culture, Sofia the second part of the project will take place in Manchester being a part of [inter:face] 02 Digital Summer Festival. Transform a busy thoroughfare into another time and place, as Urban Cycles invites you to trigger, provoke, and creatively participate in the work of the ten artists. Sensors responding to people's movements connect to multiple video projections filling Library Walk, and the street becomes home to both usual and unusual events. Images from a different artists each day will interact with the unsuspecting public to build a unique work that redefines the floorscape beneath our feet.
