stuff thats not what it seems in site-specific visual theatre dreamthinkspeak, shunt collective for starters..... or that makes me laugh when not supposed to. anything low fi, hand crafted before, or if, it gets digital (no-domain, i take my hat off), or that is downright mischievously odd. chip kidd cos he has a great sense of humour and doesn't take himself too seriously in his work. or playful kitchen kitsch. or 50s. or deviates me from task into better, crazier worlds.or all of these....oh and flourescent gondolas in mexico are top notch and OFFF (barcelona, May 2007) digital arts festival with we work for them, tmema, future farmers, scott hansen (iso50), graffiti research lab, was utterly superb........as was (re)actor international digital live arts conference (leeds, September 2007)- marsha mcluhan- new media performer, paul granjon-visual artist working with robotics,video and programming

Who I'd like to meet: bezerk, plastic, visual pop playing audio-visualists...or anyone that warms to performance, interactive and digital arts, may secretly own pink crocheted doilies & seek robot toys housing hidden cameras, maybe enjoys dipping into the worlds of eve bonneau's enchanting performance video and light work, julia bardsley's obsessions with scale, pinhole and shifting identities, pes and wonderful bulldog clip moth stopframe, christian marclay art & music fusion, zachary liebermann and his tmema live drawing interactions, no-domain live cut-out puppet pop animation, fuzzy felt animation & woof wan-bau, washing machine pinhole cameras & steven pippin, penguins travelling the world & willy puchner, amato saltone & the shunt collective, the beautiful tunng, and cat-tastic psapp, the misplaced, those who laugh when they're not supposed to and go over the lines when colouring in...who live life in a martin parr photograph or trachtenburg family slideshow players haphazard projection....yep..always a tasty treat...and those up for playing together/creating havoc in visual and performance based adventures....

If you would like to be our guest for this event please respond to info@productionlondon.com asap
just a wee note to let you know that most of us will be playing as a part of the lovely Shoreline at the Slaughtered Lamb, 34-35 Great Sutton Street, Farringdon on Thursday night. They're a great band, lovely people to boot, and it's my birthday, so come along and have a wee drinky.
Please note, however, that after we play i'll be babbling pure nonsense and drivvle, so say hi before hand.
Hello there, and thanks for linking up. Hope you enjoyed our music. We take the liberty to post an advert for our next show which we're doing in Leeds up North - hope you don't mind.
