Ulf Kristiansen The Tiger and the Lamb, 2009, Norway, 2'30

Based on 2 poems by William Blake, animation by Ulf Kristiansen. Blake isbuilding on the conventional idea that nature, like a work of art, must in someway contain a reflection of its creator. The tiger is strikingly beautiful yet alsohorrific in its capacity for violence. What kind of a God, then, could or would de-sign such a terrifying beast as the tiger? In more general terms, what does theundeniable existence of evil and violence in the world tell us about the natureof God, and what does it mean to live in a world where a being can at oncecontain both beauty and horror? The open awe of "The Tyger" contrasts with theeasy confidence, in "The Lamb," of a child's innocent faith in a benevolent uni-verse. By letting the tiger recite "the Lamb" , the tiger appears somewhatmephistotelian even though the lamb is not letting herself be seduced. The tigeris also less than impressed by the lamb?s poetry reading and seems to be plan-ning his next meal.

Ulf Kristiansen (b. 1969-11-03, Norway) is a painter and video-artist. Ulf Kristiansen is currently liv-ing at Nesodden, a peninsula outside of Oslo, Norway. While starting out as a figurative painter, Ulf isnow mainly focusing on 3d animation and machinima. His films have partaken in numerous interna-tional video festivals and exhibitions.

Marcus Orlandi Never Better, UK, live performance

A lonely chair, a broom on the floor and a white cloth folded twice neatly on theback of the chair. A man is forced inside for no reason but his own. Time placeshim within two scenarios both of which he’d rather give up on. “The outside isdead and coming closer” he retorts and tells us of the mindset that got himthere.

Inspired by the words of Samuel Beckett and Stephen Sondheim, Never Betteris a “Live Radio Play” - an invitation for audiences to piece together a time-lapse story and be unsettled by the constant stress of strict timing and opportu-nity for mistake.

Marcus Orlandi has performed in London and Liverpool, specialising in script based new mediaproductions working with choreography, film and sound.

Laura Bridges and Lauren Willis Documentary (Repeat), 2010, UK, live performance

In this video installation a performer holds a black box TV playing footage of thelast time the work was performed. The performer holds the TV for up to 30min-utes, and the only rule is that they cannot put the TV down. For longer periodsof time, the work sees the performer squirm, struggle and shift to keep the TVfrom being put down. In a shorter time, innovative ways of holding the set areexplored to suit the setting. The performance will be filmed so that this footagecan be played on the screen at the next showing of the work. Conceptually thiswork marks a big shift in the way that we have been working collaboratively, asour practice has in the past remained ephemeral. To film the performances andthen to use this as the core aspect of the work at its next performance allows amore intricate and layered way to use documentation than the simpleYouTube/website route.

Laura Bridges and Lauren Willis are collaborators working across a variety of media and disci-

plines aiming to explore the authority of the artist/creator within collaborative practice. Laura studied

Contemporary Dance at Leeds University and has recently completed her Masters in Choreography

at Middlesex University. Lauren studied Fine Art at Central

Amy Brooks With CD Ride you are the star, hijacked!, 2009, UK, loop

A theme park ride is displaced by two masked, stocking-balaclava-bandits! TheRide is literally and abstractly hijacked; stolen and reclaimed illustratively aswell as conceptually. A jarring occurrence is captured, caused by disrupting theabsurd excepted norm of theme park rides with a subversive act of intercep-tion. The footage parodies the hyper real of the everyday and in doing so be-gins to unravel the bigger facade; Hanging on the idea that theme parks aremore real than 'reality' itself, as they do not claim to be any more than a lie.

A further hijacking, occurs within the technical production of this art work.Whereby the novelty/ souvenir footage, which automatically records the rideday-in-day-out, has captured this performative stir. The 'ready-made' evidencehas been appropriated, hacked, re-hashed, and put into slow-mo. These con-sciously DIY inflictions footprint extra perversions onto the kitsch novelty homemovie. This not only further enforces the feeling of uncanny and unlocksthemes of hyper-reality, but also blurs the line of artistic authorship and craft.Thus becoming part of the 'internet-video' soup, situating the film inside andoutside of the world it seeks to 'un-mask!'"

Amy Brooks - “Using varied methods of realisation and superficial ‘surfaces’ my practice hints at alife of lies, banality, poetry and hyper-reality. Rules, boundaries and philosophy thrown up by existingconventions govern my practice. I recontextualise and reorder kitsch social artifacts in order to revealpoetic truisms about our times."

Her other projects include the bands, Eve Black/Eve White andAn Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump. "My videos are almost like another layer of skin. They are visual representations of whatever is cur-rently irking my mental state be it my want to better understand myself from a biological standingpoint or my want to predict the future. All in a sense encaspulate a form of my identity. In past proj-ects I have used video as a cathartic medium from which I expell my notions of death, puberty andsex."

Morgan BeringerMorgan Beringer is an American video artist based in East London. Having spent and continuing tospend much of his life in transit between different countries, the thrust of his creative concern stemsfrom the dilemma of living in-between cultures. An academic background in both philosophy and artpushes these concerns further into the realms of linguistics, performance, and film/video art.

Strongly influenced by early Structuralist filmmakers, (such as Michael Snow, Kurt Kren, etc.)Wittgenstein, and Gaspar Noe's film Enter the Void, Morgan's abstract work explores the expressivepossibilities of the middle ground between still and moving images as a revelatory experience of aes-thetic and linguistic ambiguity. An ongoing series of what will be sixty-four short films, the abstrac-tions are constructed entirely of still photographs that are then melded to give form to themovements between each image rather than the image itself. They frequently use photographs refer-encing mass media, spirituality, and the landscape.His other projects revolve around similar themes and media, studying movement to reveal the con-ceptual spaces between forms. He has exhibited in various creative contexts across the UK, America,Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Hong Kong.
