[spectre] CODEC/X touring programme

[Dave Griffiths]

CODEC/X: New British Video and Sound Art

Touring programme seeks interested galleries, microcinemas, websites and
other events involved in presenting contemporary video and sound works.

CODEC/X features new digital films by 26 sonic investigators, artists and
composers from north-west England.  These short, diverse works present
challenging and often humorous themes embedded to materials and processes -
including animation, performance, text, noise, concept, narrative, found
objects, tape and abstraction.

CODEC/X unpacks a playful list of new proposals and encourages discourse
about technology, materials and conventions in contemporary practice.  The
artists explore tensions between perfection and instability; the minutiae of
spaces and moments; the inscription and abandonment of laws; creation of
light and time; complexity of language and meaning, and the architecture in
'intelligent' machines.

The programme is available in DVD (PAL) as both preview and screening copy.
The entire programme is 60 minutes, or individual pieces can be
self-selected; it would fit into many contexts - theatrical screening or
media lounge setting.  If you are interested in receiving a copy please
