spring_alpha: spring_city
by Simon Yuill

Medialounge
The Media Centre
Huddersfield

14 July - 14 October 05

spring_alpha is a computer game-world based on
drawings by Chad McCail which narrate a
community's attempt to create a utopian society.
Set in a fictitious industrial town, typical of
many in Britain, elements of a dark science
fiction emerge, reminiscent of John Wyndham,
Alasdair Gray and J.G. Ballard.

This exhibition presents spring_alpha: spring_city
which looks at the creation of the urban
environment, the graphic rendering style and
'livecoding' interface. The exhibition includes
project documentation, animation, physical models
of characters, a demo version of the game,
a table-top map of the city from the original
drawings, and extracts from Mark Vernon's audio
environment for the game.

The exhibition will run concurrently with
'Evolution Is Not Over Yet' at Huddersfield Art
Gallery, which offers a chance to see Chad
McCail's project of the same name, together with
the results of workshops inspired by his work.

The spring_alpha team comprises:

Simon Yuill [Project Director] Chad McCail [Project
Advisor/original drawings], Ricardo Creemers and
Stefan Gartner [Developers], Eleonora Oreggia
[Video], Mark Vernon [Sound], Richard Dawson [Models].

Supported by the Digital Research Unit [Huddersfield, UK],
Alt-W Digital, Media Fund [Scotland], the Netherlands
Media Art Institute [Holland], Piet Zwart Institute [Holland],
University of Huddersfield, and Huddersfield Art
Gallery.
