| Walk the Earth is a
piece without beginning or end, presenting the human
effort to locate oneself in the world. Shown in
a unique viewing format, Walk the Earth represents
a strong attempt to step away from the standard
cinematic screening experience, creating a highly
personal viewing process for each audience member.
Mirabelle Ang is presently in the last lap of
her pursuit for her undergraduate degree in the
Film & Video program at CalArts. Prior to
this, she was teaching at the Digital Media Authoring
Studio in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore. An
Enhanced-DVD, Born In Singapore, authored by her
won three awards for Video Excellence, Added Value
& Special Features, and Menu Quality &
Presentation in Las Vegas, Nevada in March of
2001.

| Wire mesh, fiberfill,
salt and paper. Steel wool, cherry blossoms, grease
and spit, bubble wrap, tea leaves, washer rings,
and a drain stopper chain. In response to digital
technology, Jetsam employs an early photographic
technique of directly exposing objects onto film.
This video exaltation of the everyday analog objects
is set to the music of Martin Tetreault and Otomo
Yoshihide. Sonia Bridge recently graduated with
a Master's in Animation from the Royal College
of Art, London in 2002. Previously, she has completed
a double degree in Film/Video and Animation at

| Post mark lick explores
the materiality of the postage stamp and fleeting
narratives of postcards. The use of stamps to maintain
contact with friends and loved ones divided by geography,
time, and personal or global history represents
a means of communication that has waned in popularity
as transportation and communications technologies
evolve. Exposed directly onto film with no digital
manipulation, Post mark lick explores the physicality
of the postcard and the intimacy of the handwritten
word. Sonia Bridge recently graduated with a

INSTALLATION |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This untitled video
installation consists of suspended globes, onto
which are projected seemingly isolated body forms
in their everyday movement. The functions of these
components have been reduced to a minimal state,
yet they radiate the full essence of the body in
their rhythm and luminosity. The realism of Byun's
imagery as well as her decision to wed video with
3-D forms creates a sort of active illusion that,
upon close examination, breaks down into projection
grids referencing the technology at work in the
installation itself. Hyunsoo Byun currently resides
at Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States and
is a faculty member of the Art Department, University
of North Dakota. Her works have been selected
for "Changing Visions of the American Self"
at the International Center of Photography, NY,
NY, "National Video Competition" at
the A-1 Gallery, Knoxville, TN. Her experimental
intermedia performance projects have been shown
at various venues nationwide.

VIDEO INSTALLATION |
|
|
|
|
| meshFM: BrokeBeat is
a live audio and video mixing performance that supplants
both the DJ and VJ. The installation involves live
mixing of downloaded media fragments from the internet
by users who enter the occupied space to recombine
the elements into a new gestalt. The space consists
of an internet hub, a sound system, a few laptops
and a projector, relying solely on user input for
its content. This is a collaborative project
by the meshFM crew: including John Phillips, Nathaniel
Clark, Matt Hope, Neil Stuber and some others.
John Phillips will act as the administrative contact.
Jonathan Phillips is an artist, catalyzer, and
researcher investigating the synthesis of art
and science in relationship to mass culture. His
individual and collaborative projects are credited
internationally, most recently at the ICA London's
Cybersonica Festival and among a multitude of
other events and project spaces. His belief in
a strong critical dialogue among digital practitioners
in a multidisciplinary setting shapes much of
his work in an emerging cultural infrastructure.
