The beginning of the weekend sparked a lot of activity here at the onedotzero_adventures in motion festival. The 2 day joys of processing workshop led by Karsten Schmidt kicked off yesterday with a great response. Another of our innervisions: sound + vision panel was also a great success. Chaired by Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly, the panel discussed their individual processes for creating sound based visuals as well as synesthesia, audio visual hallucinations and the depth of online content. The screening highlight of the day was a preview of the documentary feature The Spirit of Apollo which follows the creation of N.A.S.A’s multi-collabortive debut album. Sam Spiegel, one half of N.A.S.A, flew in from L.A for a Q&A and special DJ set in the Benugo bar for the screening afterparty in partnership with Protein and Beck’s, an excellent end to a very busy day!

After a very exciting day 3 of the festival we were looking forward to a jam packed weekend. On Friday our highlights included the popular Madmapping: Projection Mapping workshop. This insight allowed a variety of creatives to explore the possibilities of the display format and experiment with innovative ideas. Other highlights included Director Dawid Marcinkowski Directors cut of Sufferrosa, an interactive online movie within which you can choose a variety of paths. Yesterday’s finale onedotzero Special: BUG x Björk was a fantastic event celebrating the unprecedented contribution to the medium of the music video.

Wednesday saw the launch of adventures in motion 2011. The BFI Southbank became a hub of activity and creativity. The first screening of wow + flutter 11 sold out and excited the crowd with innovative ideas in motion graphics, animation, and experimental short-form work. The free audio-visual installation Plasticity, by Jane Grant, John Matthias, Nick Ryan and Kin, was launched and pushed to its limits with live choral performance by Holst Singers, this instantly inspired interaction from the public. When the user creates a noise that can be picked up by one of Plasticity’s microphones, the speakers and lights in the installation come to life to create engaging patterns and connections. The preview highlights and launch party went down a storm and set the standard for the following four days.
