*IGLOO*

/'We believe in growing pieces and exploring ideas of being in other 
peoples stories, allowing audiences to join the dots, providing 
libraries of motion for play and provoking imagination so that certain 
things can be left unsaid. We experiment with different formats & new 
methods of interaction. Our ideas demand many skills therefore our work 
is collaborative. We go under the umbrella name of igloo & invite 
different artists to create with us. igloo are developing ways of 
blurring the boundaries between spectator & participator both passively 
& actively viewing 'interactivity' as a new kind of audience engagement./'


International and award winning artists igloo create intermedia 
artworks, led by Ruth Gibson & Bruno Martelli.

‘In the mid-sixties, Fluxus artists began using the term 'intermedia' to 
describe work that was ....composed of multiple media. The term 
highlights the intersection of artistic genres and has gradually 
emphasized performative work and projects that employ new technologies.’ 
[Marisa Olson - Rhizome.org]

igloo projects are created with teams of highly skilled practitioners 
drawn primarily from performance, music, design, architecture, costume, 
computer science and technology backgrounds. Their work combines film, 
video, motion capture technology, music and performance with digital 
technology. The work is developed in a variety of formats and made for 
distribution across a range of platforms, including gallery 
installation, internet sites, large and small scale performance and Cd Rom.
