One of the new artworks commissioned by Futuresonic in 2007, it has been shown 18 times at international events, and identified by New York Times as the highlight of Eyebeam's Source Code exhibition. The Duellists was one of 3 major new commissions in Futuresonic's Art For Shopping Centres exhibition, also featuring Harwood and Katherine Moriwaki, which was developed over an 18 month period and featured linked activities across the UK. MediaShed were invited to the Manchester Arndale Shopping Centre by Futuresonic to make a film combining free-media with free-running. Parkour, or freerunning, involves fluid, uninterrupted movement, adapting motion to obstacles in the environment. MediaShed created the film overnight in the Arndale shopping centre, filmed using only the in-house CCTV system, and it was then shown on the screens inside the shopping centre from 10-20 May 2007. http://www.futuresonic.com/2007commissions |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| FUTURESONIC 2008 Commissions and Getting Involved Futuresonic has 4 strands: Art, Music, Ideas and EVNTS.
