There was a programme on BBC2 on the internet last night - 'The Virtual Revolution'. I didn't catch it, but it's on iplayer here. Probably a bit basic but it might spark ideas for the Bradford / Analogue show.

I found a website today where you can type in speech, and pick your computer characters, who act out the speech for you. It gives you a nice mix of flexibility and constraint. After experimenting with it for a while I made this film. Please watch!

Ben Parry 26 January

A graduate of the Environmental Art course in Glasgow, Ben Parry creates mobile, itinerant and site-specific interventions that challenge traditional typologies of public space and the urban void. Working internationally and collaboratively, his projects employ film, photography, light, sound and machines. Parry is a co-founder of Jump Ship Rat, a Liverpool artists' collective dedicated to the development of new works often in empty and neglected public spaces. Their projects have been a feature of the independent fringe programme of Liverpool Biennials since 2002.

Simon Grennan 2 February

Simon Grennan's long-standing collaboration with Christopher Sperandio explores the margins between mass and museum cultures and takes the form of comic books, animation or installation. They have worked with museums in the United States, UK and continental Europe, but their projects are equally at home on TV or the internet. In his talk entitled `Where you stand makes what you see, doesn't it?' Grennan will draw on examples from his and others' practices to address `the relative social position as an approach to understanding artworks.'

David Thorp 9 February

David Thorp is an independent curator. He was formerly curator of GSK Contemporary at the Royal Academy, curator of Contemporary Projects at the Henry Moore Foundation, and director of the South London Gallery. He was a member of the Turner Prize jury in 2004. His most recent project is the exhibition of works from China, India and Japan, Facing East, at Manchester Art Gallery from 4 February, which provides the first opportunity to see highlights from the Frank Cohen Collection in the art collector's home town.

Ian Davenport 16 February

Ian Davenport studied at Goldsmith's College in London in the late 1980's. He took part in the seminal exhibition Freeze, 1988, and has since exhibited his paintings extensively across the world. Interested in the physical action of liquid paint and gravity on the surface of the painting, he has developed a unique and personal style which keeps open the possibilities of abstract painting as a physical and aesthetic activity.

universal bracket

happy new year to everyone! hope you enjoyed holidays.
i was thinking about this issue we've got with projector location and i think it would be easier
to use one of this brackets to hold the projector:
http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/apogee-wallprb4-universal-tilt-ceiling-bracket-mount-for-projectors-up-to-10kg-22lbs
we can screw it into that wood and its going to be strong enough to hold projector.
see you soon!
