Glass Screen SUN 1 JUNE - THU 31 JULY (From dusk) FRACTURED/DISTORTED LANDSCAPE DAN TOMBS Although referencing the idea of landscape the piece never appears linear, each rhythm and pattern is fractured and distorted creating a wild and frantic vista, both organic and digital, unnerving and disorientating to the viewer. The work is made without the use of a lens, Dan takes obsolete twenty or thirty year old games consoles and other video hardware and 'hacks' or 'circuit bends' the internal circuits of the machines creating wild manifestations of colours and shapes often far removed the videogames they usually display.
Bar Screen TUE 1 - THU 31 JULY (From 4pm) FUN IN THE SUN MACE What Did You Do Last Summer? A montage of summer sunshine, ice cream, caravan holidays and fun in the sun from the days before we worried about global warming and a holiday to Majorca cost £11! Look out for some real gems including Skegness in the 1930s and 60s and Mablethorpe in the 1920s. This compilation of archive film is brought to you by the Media Archive for Central England (MACE), the regional film archive for the Midlands. www.macearchive.org.uk
