Experiments in Vertical Perception
3-8 April
12-10pm Showroom / Lightwell
Presented by the Institute for Research into Spatial Perception

Presentations of so-called "spatial" or "3-D" sound-and-music are generally restricted to "surround sound" situations, with little or no perceptual "depth of field". This installation in the "Lightwell" (which is converted for the duration into the "Soundwell"!) represents a simple exploration of "distance", but set at an unfamiliar angle : the vertical.

Runs periodically throughout the Festival. Visitors' own interesting sounds (on CD or Cassette) may possibly be incorporated, by arrangement (time permitting).

With thanks to the Blue Room Loudspeaker company, for their support.

Forced Entertainment
Void Spaces
28 March - 6 May
Site Gallery
The exhibition Void Spaces is a major development in the work of photographer Hugo Glendinning, writer and artist Tim Etchells and performance ensemble Forced Entertainment. The exhibition, commissioned by Site Gallery, features the first public presentation of Hotel Binary - a new digital installation and interactive environment alongside expanded and new versions of award-winning earlier works in digital, video and photographic media.

In Hotel Binary the faces of a man and a woman are the interface to a love story, played out in the intense and intimate space of a hotel bedroom. For the viewer the protagonists' faces become maps or interactive landscapes, as clicking on links embedded in the faces leads the viewer to scenes from an imaginary past. Voyeuristic access to these private moments alternates with time spent on the receiving end of the protagonist's gaze.

Complementing this new work will be the video installation 'Filthy Words & Phrases', photographs and text from 'The Rules of the Game' and interactive CD-ROMS 'Nightwalks', 'Frozen Palaces' and 'Spin' in which the viewer can explore narrative clues and embedded links that lead to other scenes and locations.
