Sound & Vision: A screening of digital animation and music  
visualisation.
Curated by Adam Procter & Jason Wilson.
Hat Factory Basement, Bute Street, Luton, UK.
26th November 2006. 7PM.
Entry by donation (Suggested: £3)

Treating of artistic practices that visualize the previously  
invisible, Lev Manovich writes "I often find myself moved by these  
projects emotionally. Why? Is it because they carry the promise of  
rendering the phenomena of the human senses into something that is  
within our reach, something visible and tangible?... Data  
visualization art is concerned with the anti-sublime". Thus Manovich  
raises the spectre of the category traditionally posed as the 'anti- 
sublime', the Beautiful...

Sound and Vision  will screen a number of short works that use a  
range of techniques to integrate and transform music within digitally  
animated works. Whether or not these works are abstract or  
generative, all of them possess the unsettling affective power that  
many recent works of visualization share.

Though many of the screened artists have taken advantage of the  
possibilities online distribution and exhibition, on the night the  
works will be featured on a large projection screen with PA, in  
comfortable surrounds, and with a reasonably-priced bar in operation!

Confirmed films include:

'Rootsnine' by Monkeymen
'Esign' by Chris Larkee
'What is that' by Run Wrake
