With plenty of screening programmes and late night events to please the over 18 crowd, we opted for a more child friendly start to the day with our new onedotzero_sprites programme. Featuring a specially curated selection of shorts, including Studio aka’s stunning “Lost and Found” this programme was aimed specifically at our next generation of creators. Proving to be a success, onedotzero_sprites was well received by both children and adults alike with the infectious giggling certainly a sign of approval!

Lost and Found: Philip Hunt

INSTALLATIONS
Set up specifically for Sunday, Brian Alfred‘s video installation: It’s Already the End of the World, 2010 created a powerful presence in studio 1 with Brian’s work inspired by his interest in globalization, civil unrest, political and social opposition, and influential figures and locations. Audiences were able to wander in and out, sit, stand, lay down and immerse themselves amongst the animation which featured multiple soundtracks by musicians Flying Lotus, Ghislain Poirier, Roberto Carlos Lange, and many others.

While our final screening programme was underway, there were still opportunities for all festival goers to enjoy the delights of our free installations dotted around the EMPAC building throughout the weekend. On the mezzanine level we had our interactive music video lounge, dissolving the barrier between artists and audiences with the ability to control the action, create your own tracks, record personalised cuts to send to friends, and appear in another realm through the magic of augmented reality.

Course, not forgetting our onedotzero interactive festival identity installation which has been causing quite a stir since it’s launch at our onedotzero_adventures in motion festival premiere at London’s BFI Southbank in September 2009. The identity was created by Wieden + Kennedy London, who were inspired and stimulated by online conversations amoungst onedotzero’s global community, aiming to unite them to create the identity itself. The result – specially produced generative software allowing these conversations to evolve, grow and interact using a nokia n900 phone. This open source software is now free for you to download and have a go yourself!
