LiquidPress e-ditions:

Corporeal Archive:
The ‘Corporeal Archive’ will develop a flexible digital (online) tool for a diverse community of performance researchers to have comprehensive access to all the documentation produced throughout the creation, rehearsal and performance of William Forsythe’s “The Loss of Small Detail” (a 1 hour and 50 minute choreography premiered May 1991 with music by Thom Willems and costumes by Issey Miyake).

With the Laban Centre and Performance Research/ LiquidPress: Ric Allsopp, Scott deLahunta, Mike Phillips, Valerie Preston-Dunlop, Forsythe Foundation/ Ballet Frankfurt: Bill Forsythe, Rebecca Groves, Ana Roman.

Constellation Columbia:

‘Constellation Columbia’ (above with nicola Triscott from Arts Catalyst), prototype monument for ‘Dead Astronauts/ Cosmonauts’, was included last years zero gravity Parabolic flights from the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre, Russia. The work was commissioned by The Arts Catalyst as part of the MIR Campaign 2003 at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre, Russia. ‘Constellation Columbia’ is an autonomous space monument inspired by the writing s of J.G. Ballard. The scale/model/prototype seen on the Culture Show incorporated simple audio/radio recording and transmission, gyroscopes, gravity switches and light sequencers. The work is being developed for inclusion in future zero gravity flights with the aspiration for a full scale release from the International Space Station.

BB4D:

The LiquidPress will be delivering a range of new media activities to the BroadBand 4 Devon project. These will include:
• workshops and surgeries to support the construction of new media content,
• tools and solutions for generating, managing and distributing new media content,
• the construction of specific content to support other areas of the project (such as, dynamic data representations etc)
• new media ‘publications’ and ‘broadcasts’ (such as streaming webcasts and digital documents).
This content will include material for entertainment, edutainment, information visualisation and architecture, ‘e-learning’ environments and online community support.
Funding from the European Union's Objective 2 programme, the South West Regional Development Agency and Partners, means Broadband4Devon can provide Information and Communications Technology (ICT) advice and guidance to businesses in rural Devon , together with subsidies to encourage connection and development.

Arch-OS CD:

Limited edition Arch-OS CD-ROM: Arch-OS v1.1 [Architecture Operating Systems] Software for Buildings... Produced for the opening of the Portland Square Arch-OS installation, this limited edition interactive demonstrator is available to individuals or organisations interested in the project... only while stocks last.

Ibeam:

I-BEAM is an ongoing project, which develops unique fonts drawn from different disciplines of creative processes. To date architects, dancers and a group of dyslexic children have produced Ibeam fonts which are available to download from the internet or on limited edition CD-ROM.

Artefact:

"artefacts can change their meaning not just over the years as different histriographical and institutional currents pick them out and transform their significance, but from day to day as different people view them and subject them to their own interpretation."1
The 'Artefact' Project takes this fluidity as its starting point. The Artefact and its interpretation panel slowly evolve as visitors to the website play with it and reinterpret its meaning. At the core of the Artefact Project is a 3D database drawn from the V&A Collection. For the duration of the show the 'Artefact' evolves through a generative breeding of this 'genetic' information. At some point in its evolution the 'Artefact' will become the collection. 'Artefact' is a MODEL project... May16th - June 9th 2002

v01d:

V01D represents an opportunity to piece together a particular perspective upon a complex emerging field through an exhibition and publication. The show and book will support an aspect of the RIBA Architecture week that might otherwise be dominated by traditional forms of building and architectural output. The book v01d, edited by chris speed and george grinsted, contains work by: fiona bailey (uk), stephen perrella (us), general lighting and power (uk), iain borden (uk), peter anders (us), chris speed (uk), mike phillips (uk), digital skin (uk), limbomedia (uk)

Auto-Illustrator 1.1:

By Ade Ward works as a software artist, developing interactive generative visual and audio applications. Concerned primarily with issues of authorship and programming, he is engaged with a number of projects that set out to produce a subtle change in the way people interact with new technology. Auto-Illustrator is a generative vector graphic application that parodies commercial applications and has some additional auto-generative functions. For Generator (http://www.generative.net/generator/
An exhibition organised by Spacex & STAR, with support from the Institute of Digital Art & Technology and the Arts Council of England
Spacex Gallery, 1 May - 22 June 2002.
Spacex at the Liverpool Biennial, 14 - 29 September 2002. Firstsite, Colchester, 8 February - 29 March 2003), this work will be published, for the first time, as a boxed CD-Rom.

Applause SouthWest:

Applause South West is a digital exploration of theatre past and present in Plymouth and the surrounding area. Applause southwest has been funded with the support of a grant from the New Opportunities Fund, a National Lottery good cause distributor, through the Fund's Digitise programme.

S.T.I.:

S.T.I. was funded by the SciArt programme (supported by the ACE, the British Council, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, SAC, the Wellcome Trust and NESTA)., and turns the technologies that look to deep space for Alien Intelligence back onto Planet Earth in a quest for 'evidence' of Terrestrial Intelligence. Looking at Earth from space the project will develop processing techniques using autonomous computer software agents. S.T.I. moves beyond irony by engaging with our understanding of the 'real world' through our senses, whether real or artificially enhanced. Will these autonomous systems 'know' the 'truth' when they 'see' it? The S.T.I. Consortium:
STAR, Dr Guido Bugmann, Dr Angelo Cangelosi, Laurent Mignonneau, Christa Sommerer, Dr Nick Veck.

Spectactor:

The Spectactor Project explores the spaces and places generated across a series of satellite transmissions and single-user VRML environments, and attempts to locate them within an appropriate context in order that they may be better articulated and understood. These technologies have for some time been at the heart of an integrated internet/publishing/broadcasting experiment called Mediaspace, the Spectactor project builds on the experiences and experiments.
With STAR, i-DAT, DA2 & Limbomedia.

Autoicon:

Autoicon is a dynamic internet work and CD-ROM that simulates both the physical presence and elements of the creative personality of the artist Donald Rodney who died from sickle-cell anaemia. The project builds on Donald Rodney’s artistic practice in his later years, when he increasingly began to delegate key roles in the organisation and production of his artwork. Making reference to this working process, AUTOICON is developed by a close group of friends and artists (his partner Diane Symons, Eddie Chambers, Richard Hylton, Virginia Nimarkoh, and Keith Piper) (ironically described as 'Donald Rodney plc') who have acted as an advisory and editorial board in the artist’s absence, and who specified the rules by which the 'automated’ aspects of the project operate.

MEDIASPACE:

The intent of 'MEDIASPACE', whether in its 'dead' paper-based form, or the 'live' digital forms of satellite and internet, is to explore the implications of new media forms and emergent fields of digital practice in art and design. 'MEDIASPACEÍ is an experimental publishing project that explores the integration of print ('MEDIASPACE' is published as part of the CADE (Computers in Art and Design Education) journal Digital Creativity by SWETS & ZEITLINGER.), WWW and interactive satellite transmissions ('MEDIASPACE' interactive satellite transmissions were funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), the British National Space Centre (BNSC), and WIRE (Why ISDN Resources in Education) and use Olympus, EUTELSAT and INTELSAT satellites via a TDS-4b satellite uplink. (incorporating live studio broadcasts, ISDN based video conferencing, and asynchronous email/ISDN tutorials).

Humming of Strings:

The “Humming of Strings” uses the distance (23000 mile) between the satellite UpLink (ESA TDS 4 based @ Plymouth University) and the Satellite, and back again, (INTELSAT or EUTELSAT) to generate a quarter of a second delay in the transmission and reception of the video signal. In effect this creates a 46,000 mile echo chamber.
