CODEC/X: New British Video and Sound Art
Touring programme seeks interested galleries, microcinemas, websites and other events involved in presenting contemporary video and sound works.
CODEC/X features new digital films by 26 sonic investigators, artists and composers from north-west England. These short, diverse works present challenging and often humorous themes embedded to materials and processes - including animation, performance, text, noise, concept, narrative, found objects, tape and abstraction.
CODEC/X unpacks a playful list of new proposals and encourages discourse about technology, materials and conventions in contemporary practice. The artists explore tensions between perfection and instability; the minutiae of spaces and moments; the inscription and abandonment of laws; creation of light and time; complexity of language and meaning, and the architecture in 'intelligent' machines.
The programme is available in DVD (PAL) as both preview and screening copy (compatible with newer players in NTSC regions). The entire programme is 60 minutes, or individual pieces can be self-selected; it would fit into many contexts - theatrical screening or media lounge setting. If you are interested in receiving a copy please email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Programme and artist info online at www.pharmakon.co.uk/codecx Distribution is supported by Arts Council England.
