Black
Car
A
Phantom-like black car coasts along an alienating Norwegian
alpine landscape, questioning whether this is real life we see
or a ‘CG’ animation. The mysterious “Black Car” (2009) urges
the viewer to be led astray, exploring the potential of the
pockets of space between reality and cinematic fiction.
Øyvind Aspen lives and works in Oslo, he has exhibited work
internationally featuring in group shows including, “Cities
Re-Imagined,” Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina, Novi Sad,
Serbia, “Seven Easy Steps,” Horton Gallery, New York, US and
Solo show “Did you see the size of that chicken,” Np3, Groningen,
The Netherlands.

Walking
Crowd
A
sea of autonomous figures fill the screen, occasionally turning
their heads to acknowledge you as voyeur to this rush hour scene.
Business men and women clutching their bags, ipods in, mobiles
out, walk like a troop of soldiers towards an unknown target.
Alex Delany is a graphic designer based in New York, specialising
in motion graphics.
“Walking Crowd” will be presented as interventional works on
plasma screens throughout the public spaces at Broadway.

Presents
THE MEMORY DEALER
A
Pervasive Drama by Rik Lander
Somewhere
between cinema, game and theatre, The Memory Dealer, is a pervasive
drama that takes place in the streets of central Nottingham.
The story begins with the audience listening to an mp3 file
as they meander through the busy city. To continue they have
to find one of the shady memory dealers offering files revealing
hidden memories layered on the fabric of the town.
The Memory Dealer is a must for anyone wishing an early glimpse
of how mobile media can be integrated into the real world to
create socially participatory entertainment. It is fun and thought
provoking and not at all embarrassing to play.
Tickets are free, but booking is essential as tickets are limited.

The Memory Dealer by Rik Lander, is commissioned
by Towards Pervasive Media.
