ØYVIND ASPEN
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.

ALEX DELANY
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.

SAT 11 SEP - 2PM

Towards Pervasive Media
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.
