[rohrpost] Trampoline Event - 23. Nov - Nottingham

[Anette Schäfer]

TRAMPOLINE - PLATFORM FOR NEW MEDIA ART
www.trampoline.org.uk
Thursday 23rd November 6pm til late
Broadway Cinema, Broad Street, Nottingham
£5.50/£4.20 concessions
	
Playing with urban structures - the city becomes alive at the touch of a
button.
 
Pounding along pavement, tearing through traffic, careering through
construction we race to keep up with the ever changing city. 
As the concrete jungle and the media playground become entwined the keyboard
becomes the ground we walk on, the computer screen becomes a building’s
surface – we unwittingly enter the game.
 
Trampoline invites you to grab your joysticks, to poise your fingers at the
buttons and begin playing the city as we investigate the relationship
between gaming, new media art and our urban environment.
 
The structures of the city are increasingly pervaded by new media with
screens, cctv, electronic networks, mobile devices, implements often
designed to control our movement through urban space and even to remove us
from our surroundings. We wish to investigate how new media can form an even
tighter relationship with our immediate environment – challenge and subvert
its conventional structures, hack the city. 
 
The evening of events brings together performance, video, installation and
artists’ presentations.
 
Blast Theory, internationally renowned as one of the most adventurous
artists' groups using interactive media, are brought to Nottingham by Future
Factory to present their latest work ‘Day of the Figurines’ - recently
premiered at Trampoline’s event First Play Berlin in October.

Le Quan Ninh will be bringing his unique form of percussion improvisation to
Nottingham in a highly anticipated performance. www.lequanninh.net 
 
Electronic musicians Vastik Root and Little Boy Blue will be meddling with
their gameboys and various computer consoles resulting in a climax of
energetic noise. www.myspace.com/vastikroot 
 
Frank Abbott will be presenting his epic performance ‘From Here to the End
of my Garden’ a series of four presentations throughout the evening, merging
spaces together with his mobile projector, recreating his garden within
Broadway Cinema.
 
 
Other works on show include:
An ‘urban carpet’ will be set somewhere in the streets of Nottingham and
pedestrians may find the ground beneath their feet suddenly responding to
their movements.
An interactive virtual pool by Giles Askham, creates visual and sonic
response in the form of ripples as the viewer investigates ‘Aquaplayne’.
A new audio tour by Jon Aveyard will be available for you to experience the
city in a very different way.
And Martin Callanan’s ‘Sonification of You’ will make tangible the mass of
mobile phone signals, wifi networks and general electronic radiation which
surrounds us by detecting these transmissions and making them audible.
