an interactive performance co-commissioned by New Media Scotland and 
New Moves International for the National Review of Live Art 2003

19 & 20 February 2003, National Review of Live Art, The Arches, 
Glasgow http://www.newmoves.co.uk/newterritories/intropage.htm

A body - female - covered in honey & goose fat, isolated in a glass 
hut. Surrounded by feathers lying at her feet. Wind machines 
triggered by the approaching steps of curious onlookers. Feathers 
lifting from the ground begin to coat the body. Is this a punishment 
being inflicted, comparable to the age-old ritual of tarring and 
feathering? Or is this a metamorphosis taking place; from human to 
bird like creature, finally gifted with the freedom of flight?

A New Media Scotland touring video programme curated by Branko Franceschi

21 & 22 February 2003, National Review of Live Art, The Arches, 
Glasgow http://www.newmoves.co.uk/newterritories/intropage.htm

Frame by Frame demonstrates the vitality of video art in Croatia. The 
quality and quantity of video production in Croatia, from its 
beginnings in the late 60s till the present, makes it one of the most 
vibrant countries for video art in the region of South Eastern Europe.

'Old School' presents videos from pioneers of video art working in 
the 1970's and 80's including famous names such as Ante Bozanich and 
Breda Beban/Hrvoje Horvatic, and younger artists who started in video 
but are now pursuing a film directors career. 'New School' presents a 
younger generation of artist who graduated in the 1990's from 
Croatia's Academy of Fine Arts and though trained in traditional 
disciplines such as painting or sculpture, immediately switched 
exclusively to video and multimedia art.

Branko Franceschi will visit Glasgow, and deliver a talk during the 
National Review of Live Art: details to be announced.
