DREAMING METHODS - DIGITAL FICTION
Since the 1990's Andy Campbell has experimented with the possibilities of writing fiction for the computer screen and, although most people still consider fiction something they'd read from a book, an explosion of blogs, online journals, text-based "web art" projects and the introduction of electronic portable reading devices has generated a new wave of mashed up narrative experiments and intrigued (often confused) audiences.
Andy Campbell's website Dreaming Methods combines fictional narratives with other media such as film, photography, animation and music. The results are highly challenging but compelling reading experiences that explore dream inspired states, the subconscious and the deterioration of memory. Projects are often visually haunting and atmospherically immersive where the text itself floats, mutates and gets entangled with motion graphics creating powerful 'scenes' throughout the 'story'.
Experience recent Dreaming Methods projects on a big screen, including a preview of a new project "Clearance", an apocalyptic digital fiction created by Andy Campbell and film-maker Judi Alston, The talk will include discussion around the possibilities of new forms of electronic narratives - from full-blown cinematic multimedia to exciting new e-book standards.
About Andy:

IOCT Salon - Low Brow Trash, 5th April 2007, 6 - 7.30pm, Leicester, UK
Dates:
Thu Apr 05, 2007 00:00 - Wed Mar 28, 2007
http://www.ioctsalon.com
Thursday 5th April 2007, 6.00pm - 7.30pm (doors open at 5.30pm for drinks)
This event is free of charge and open to the public.
Low Brow Trash
http://www.lowbrowtrash.co.uk
Low Brow Trash (Graham Elstone and Thomas Hall) create contemporary artworks for all arts locations and festivals. The company is dedicated to the use of new media technologies in the creation of the artworks in expressing the ideas and themes of the work. Low Brow Trash is continually exploring new ways to utilise new technology as a creative tool and is expanding the way art is experienced by the viewer or audience by creating work that has an interactive element. Low Brow Trash work with film, computer technology, computer games, insallation and performance/theatre in the creation of their work.
Low Brow Trash's 'Model Citizen'
Model Citizen is a site-specific work that is ideally suited to a shopping centre or street. The work consists of a large projected image placed in a shop front/window and the images react to the movements of passers by, by using motion-tracking technology.
The work examines the concept of Model Citizen: are we born to be Model Citizens or are we manipulated into being so? And for some of us where and why does this go wrong? The work uses various reference points in life and transforms these into image statements that are then layered on top of each other to give contrasting views and opinions on the subject. Model Citizen works with layered imagery; a camera registers the movement of the passer by, they are transformed into a projected silhouette, this silhouette in turn becomes a 'window' to the second layer of imagery, creating a multi-layered visual language.
A public artwork that has the 'public' as the focal point.
