Details follow… Festival Programme: 2 - 9 March Exhibition: 2 march - 8 April www.pandaemonium.org.uk NOW LIVE! PANDÆMONIUM 2001 commissions and presents international work from the leading lights in film, visual arts and digital culture. Uncompromising, fresh, compelling and radically diverse, this work speaks on its own terms. From daft punk cinema to the finest art film, from installation to the Internet, from sound art to cinephilia, this is a festival of bleeding media. It is not about the future, it is now. PANDÆMONIUM 2001 features an intensive festival programme in the Lux Cinema with over150 new films and videos from around the world. There are nine new commissions: three for the Lux Gallery, three for the Single Screen, and three from artists working with emerging technologies. Talks, performances and special events will ignite discussion and debate among the thousands expected to converge on London¹s most vibrant cultural quarter during March. A national tour follows to venues around the UK. Selected highlights: € At a fascinating stage in his career, Mat Collishaw presents installations across three venues and a giant blue babyŠ € Grazia Toderi, one of the many new Italian artists on the rise, subtly manipulates night-time London in a multi-screen aerial projection onto the Lux¹s famous windows. € The artist collective INVENTORY examine the social fallout of enforced gentrification in their portrait of Mitte, Berlin's answer to Shoreditch. € Miranda July, the bastard daughter of David Lynch and Kim Gordon, offers the latest production from the original Big Miss Moviola and a live movie - The Swan Tool - at the ICA. € In the hands of Israeli artist Uri Tzaig, the most incendiary issues take on a new light. Allah Akbar (For the Love of God) is a radical new short film comprising a set of TV ads for the Act of Creation, playfully pitching religious faith into sublime commercial breaks. € Oliver Payne + Nick Relph are young artists on the rise - don¹t miss their free-form journey into the dark heart of rural England. € Eline McGeorge, k10k.de and HI-RES! - garlanded at FlashForward 2000 - feature in the ArtsOnline.com Emerging Technologies Exhibition, capturing the gadget zeitgeist with ground-breaking new work made especially for hand-held PDA's. € The Internet renaissance in vector graphics is celebrated by the new I-D Media Flash Prize. € Joan Jonas makes a special appearance in the UK to present rare and unseen early work. € Numerous UK and World premieres including work by John Smith, George Kuchar and Nelson Henricks + cameras mounted on tarantulas, suicide newsgroups, demonic children, psychotronic blipverts, lost souls on the information superhighway... a feast of diverse and visionary films. € LIGHTWORK Presented by PANDÆMONIUM and OPEN.
