I’m really delighted to be awarded The Schauerman Digital Art Prize for my video remote city [skygardens_towers] exhibited as part of The London Group Open 2017!
The Schauerman Digital Art Prize is a new prize and part of The London Group Open 2017
The prize went to Sandra Crisp for her experimental video work Remote City (skygardens_towers) which pans through elevated levels of a fragmented and futuristic city featuring sky gardens, and empty high-rise towers that humans appear to have left behind. She says the “hybrid models are textured with borrowed / downloaded visuals and smartphone-camera stills, embedded into their multi-faceted surfaces.” Sandra’s piece is both playful and dark and a really skilful use of 3d and video. We love it.
The selected artwork was shown as part of the London Group Open in November 2017 and the winner received £500. All forms of digital art were considered including video, still image, sound, 3D, web, game art, interactive, installation, VR, electronics, robotics, etc…
This prize is selected by London Group members Genetic Moo (Nicola Schauerman and Tim Pickup). Nicola’s parents, Marie & John Schauerman, were creative throughout their lives and excited by new technology. This award is in memory of their enthusiasm and support.

Auroville Dream (Tales from the City) has been selected as part of an open call for Arctic Moving Image and Film Festival (AMIFF) Harstad, Norway. The screening of open call films will take place Harstad Kino, Saturday 29 October.
Festival dates: 27- 30 October 2016, Harstad Kino, Harstad, Norway.
Full film and moving image program HERE
The theme of the first festival is ‘Memory and Identity’. The relatively short history of film is now starting to measure up to a considerable size, and our identity is intertwined by film. Questions like ‘how does movements in film history reflect on movements in society?’, ‘how do we understand ourselves through film and moving images and its history?’ and ‘How are memories and identity treated in film and moving images?’ will be explored.
The theme ‘Memory and Identity’ is inspired by the strong focus currently on the use of archive material in moving images today. Topics for discussions that springs out of this are fact and fiction, power and powerlessness. Who gets their stories told? Can art function as democratization of archive material?’

#randomstring dynamic code-based work created live for Random String symposium and Microfestival June 10th-11th 2016, Warwick Arts centre, University of Warwick, UK.
Uses Processing, hashtags, tweets, graphics and photos scraped from Twitter #randomstring hashtag to document the symposium event.
At the Random String symposium June 10th 2016, Warwick Arts centre, University of Warwick, UK I worked live on a new dynamic code-based Kinetic Collage work using hashtags, tweets, graphics and photos scraped from Twitter. The recycled digital debris formed an abstract visual document of the symposium and resulting artwork was later microFestival held at City Arcade, Coventry 11th June 2016.
Random String was organised by Coventry-based digital artists Ludic Rooms

Thanks to all the lovely people at Random String for an inspiring weekend!
Auroville Dream (Tales From the City) has been selected for FILE Electronic Language International Festival, Brazil 2016 as part of the Anima+Games program.
In the 2016 edition of the FILE Festival, after nearly a decade carrying FILE GAMES and FILE ANIMA+ independently, we decided to unite both festivals to create ANIMA+GAMES. By joining animations and games in the same event, we can point out aspects that would go unnoticed if shown under the very logic of each one of them.
It’s not about just a way to raise similarities and differences, but especially to emphasize the creative aspects that can occur in the mutual influence of both medium. To this end, we conceptualize what we call metanoumos. We are inspired by the concept already known of the games theory: the metagame, which states that any strategy or action, as well as methodologies used in games, go beyond the set of certain pre-stablished rules. They are those heterodox and external elements that affect and change the decision of who plays.
ANIMA+GAMES is an event that aims to show and to encourage the mutual influence of both medium. On one hand, the animations with its own strategies of creation and production with its already known influence from cinema, and on the other, games, with the notorious problem between narratology and ludology, and also between games and metagame.

Very pleased that my proposal for a short residency with Random String microfestival 2016 has been accepted.
Random String is a programme of events for artists and audiences exploring the creative potential of interactive and networked technology in the arts. It is organised by Ludic Rooms in association with Warwick Arts Centre.
I will be a screen-based artist in resident for 1 day on Friday 10th June for the Random String Symposium working live with a new Processing and dynamic code-based work from Kinetic Collage series. The interactive event will encourage open participation from visitors to the centre in the form of text and visuals collected via Twitter towards creating a new piece of work.
The work will be exhibited on Saturday 11th June at City Arcade, Coventry alongside other participating artworks.
