Desktop Icons 2.0Desktop Icons 2.0 features short digital films and videos by Scottish and international artists, exploring the cross over of popular culture, media and new creative technologies. Desktop Icons 2.0 examines the computer desktop culture of today and the new moving image authored on (and sometimes for) desktops. The quiet digital film revolution has opened up a brave new world where screen icons are promised 15 Megabytes of fame. It has also created exciting possibilities for more experimental and edgy work, stretching the boundaries of what was once known as cinematic reality. Artists include Matthias Muller, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, Beagles & Ramsay, Satoshi Tomioka, Simon Ellis, Torsten Lauschmann, and many others from around the globe.
