INFRACTIONS
F+S Solo exhibition

Qube Gallery
18 August - 13 September 2008

Infractions is a collection of works that reflect our recent and present practice. The exhibition consists of eight small installation pieces made up of video and sonic works, a number of 2D wall artworks and a projection into a darkened space.

For this collection we are looking at infringements of expectation around the use of technology, particularly through the appropriation of obsolete technology for new purposes, a sort of new media circuit-bending, and the reinterpretation of data input / output.

Seminar & Workshop

We are offering two events at Qube for creatives interested in new media practice.

New Media Using Open Source & Free Software - Seminar
Thursday 28 August 2008

A brief guide to creative open source and free software available for Mac & PC. The seminar will summarise some of the extraordinary resources available online for a range of creative new media practice, assess some of the best free software, make recommendations on safe downloading, and provide a resource pack of useful links to recommended download sites, tutorials and other resources.

 

Collective Infraction
Friday 12 September 2008

A day of making, using creative technology, new media and obsolete technology. Participants will be encouraged to bring old technology along, or use ours, for some destructive recycling or creative circuit-bending. The workshop may include video or sonic art production as part of the process. Participants will work collaboratively on a collective infraction, attempting by experimentation to create a physical new media installation / object, inspired by the exhibition.
