16. So "New Canvas" still useful term. to describe
what was shown previously during Animated
Exeter
Greg Kurcewicz website has text and video-

Extract follows from
The Cinematic Experience
On Feb 13th, showing of Overstimulation

17. We do not really need a new technology.
We have enough of it, even too much of
it, and only a few artists artist are
deploying it critically. In VJ-ing and much
“live, digital” cinema I see just software
and rarely communication. I am not
impressed with software, in the same
way that I am not simply impressed with
mediums of cds, mini discs or even vinyl
records.
18. Digital technology opens up a whole new archive of
material for artists but it is a leveller of images.
Whereas we might all have many differences
culturally, and many different cultural reference points,
we do have one thing in common: our nervous
system. To get into a situation where we are
questioning our perception is in fact a great
commonality, one that is achieved in many
experimental films. To return our view to the real world
is a breakthrough for us at this moment in time. To re-
discover the act of looking and a space for looking at
something is a crucial and political act to undertake for
artists.
19. demoscene
Ruairi Fullan will be there so I just need to introduce this and
hope it relates ok to other content.

Discussion on copyright etc. later depending on timings.
20. @party
Special notice to all the readers:
We do not want to be a videogame.
We don't want to be an art movie either.
We are just kickin it DEMOSTYLE.

25. Copyright
Discussion as time is available. Some recent work is widely
available online. Early content not so easy to find so is not as
well known as could be.
What options?
How to finance a future occasion? If tickets sold, what scale?
For example, the Black Box 50 seats x ?3
What is distributed in the UK within this sort of budget?
29. Layered video,
mixing animation and performance. What
possibilities?
Discussion could continue during
Vibraphonic
Meanwhile, from Breakpoint
