22 MAY - 3 JUNE ¬ RE-CONSTRUCT CINECHAMBER. MUTEK FESTIVAL.
MONTREAL. CANADA.
The new D-Fuse installation Re-Construct [Particle 3.0], which has been created
specifically for Recombinant Media Labs' CineChamber, a 10-screen installation
lab for panoramic performance, will premier in the installation at Cinema
Excentris at Mutek Festival in Montreal, Canada. Re-construct [Particle 3.0] is
a reworking of one of the main strands of D-Fuse's output from the last few
years. Taking its cue from the live cinema performance pieces Particle and
Latitude, Re-construct follows a trajectory from abstraction to reconstruction,
creating a narrative that plays out as much through immersive spatial
experience as it does over time. Investigating an urban space that is at the
same moment real-and-imagined, the piece merges layers of experience that
range from the existential to the reflexive, from singular concrete
observations to abstract patterns and textures.
Other artists include Signal (Carsten Nicolai,Olaf Bender, Frank
Bretschneider), Ryoichi Kurokawa, Telcosystems, Biosphere & Egbert Mittelstadt,
Fennesz & Lillevan plus many more.
Recombinant Media Labs was founded to research the qualities and artistic
potential of spatial media synthesis. It does so by means of experiential
engineering, or exploring processes that expand the aesthetic and technological
boundaries of simulative installation, surround cinema, and multi-channel AV
environments. RML acts as producer and presenter of hybrid cross-genre
artworks, residencies, and concerts in the mobile exhibition theatre. D-Fuse's
reconstructive landing into this vacillating vortex brings in several
distinctive contextual characteristics never before presented in Recombinant's
experiential archives and by planting this projectile seed into the phono-optic
fabric some further architectural extensions are anticipated.

3 JULY ¬ FOOD AND SOCIETY. BRITISH LIBRARY CONFERENCE CENTRE. LONDON.
UK.
Michael Faulkner has been accepted to present his IE MRes paper Global
Food Superhighways - How Food Shapes Cities at the British Sociological
Association (BSA) Food and Society Conference. Following the success of last
year's event, the aim of this third conference is to further examine the role
of food in contemporary society, examining both empirical questions raised by
the relation of food to social and intergenerational inequalities, and
exploring theoretical issues of food as an item of consumption, cultural symbol
and commodity.
Global Food Superhighways investigates the relationship between food and
cities by interrogating film, using observational methods and visual
ethnography. Using food as his 'lens' and selecting from a database of video
clips filmed over the past three years for D-Fuse's 'Endless Cities' project,
Faulkner has edited 14 films for analysis, based on the inclusion criteria that
they must have evidence of food, food culture, food products or food
byproducts. The methodology used to analyse the films involved creating a
series of categories or 'meta tags' relating to food and cities. The films were
then put online, and a select audience of academics and practitioners was
invited to view and comment, reflecting on the films and the themes coming out
of them. Faulkner then combined these with my own analysis in a multimodal
meta-narrative around the 14 films.The films and comments can be viewed viewed

OUT NOW ¬ ATLAS BOOK + ONLINE.
Atlas: Geography, Architecture and Change in an Interdependent World
combines recent thinking on human geography and architecture on global
environmental change issues, setting out to develop a reinterpretation of
cartography and a reframing of sustainability. The Atlas makes space for us to
consider the practical and ethical challenges presented by globalisation and
global environmental change. This website and linked publication: Atlas:
Geography, Architecture and Change in an Interdependent World (Black Dog
Publishing 2012), offers a range of contributions that navigate the novel
ethical and political questions of our current state of global interdependence
between people, places and things, near and far, in both space and time. This
publication includes work from people and organisations who have participated
in events arising out of the Interdependence Day (ID) project.
D-Fuse's work Small Global was exhibited at the Interdependence Day(ID) project
and is featured in the Atlas publication. Small Global is an ongoing
installation project - an immersive space filled with data visualisations that
highlight the interconnectedness between global consumption and various
environmental and social issues.
Themes addressed in Small Global include the destruction of the world's
rainforest to make way for the cattle needed for fast food production, as well
as ongoing wars in the Congo related to the mining of Coltan, a rare mineral
crucial for mobile phone production, which has caused profound human suffering
as well as the near extinction of gorillas in the Congo. The publication was
produced in collaboration with the Open Space Research Centre at The Open
University and is a collaboration between academics from the Geography
discipline OU, the School of Architecture, University of Sheffield and
researchers at the New Economics Foundation.
