mervin Jarman Tour 2010
In early 2010 we welcomed the wonderful mervin Jarman for a national speaking tour. mervin is a community art activist, interactive multimedia designer, human computer interface expert and was a core member of the mongrel Collective.
He is a particular kind of mongrel – a new breed of street art-activist emerging in new media and technology. In 2003 mervin initiated The Container Project, a community media lab in a 40 foot shipping container in rural Jamaica. The Container Project recently won the prestigious Stockholm Challenge Award.
Drifting: Julia Burns
Video Art3–channel video installation
Drifting is an immersive, video-based installation, integrating real objects with full-scale interactive video characters in an expanded cinematic context. Its core themes are domesticity and public access to private space. Viewers enter into a private domestic setting within the public space of a gallery challenging the division of the public and private domains. In an ironic twist, the same media that threatens privacy, is used to reproduce it.

Reading the Body: Sue Healey
PerformanceA single screen: double projection installation
duration: 5mins
The installation offers a cinematic and spatial rendering of the body and the text of the poem juxtaposing a filmed dancer with a poem. Inspired by the whimsical nature of the text, curious animations of bones and organs partner the dancer and reveal the body for scrutiny.
What are the collaborative narrative possibilities between text and movement? How does poetry influence the reading of the movement language? How do we read the body?
