The series is partly inspired by their joint admiration for the early twentieth-century experimental animators Hans Richter and Oskar Fischinger. --------- Katrina McPherson & Simon Fildes - Hyperchoreography Hyperchoreography is a non-linear dance performance 'space' existing in an interactive and networked medium. The artists' collaborative work in video-dance has made them aware that the 'final edit' provides just one from a range of infinite possibilities. The material that is discarded is often just as interesting as the final work. Hyperchoreography was born from a desire to expose more of that process to an audience. The dance can be sequentially altered by user interaction, navigating through looped moving images. --------- Slateford are Simon Yuill (Scotland) and Tryggve Askildsen (Norway). Slateford is a collaborative project through which they are exploring the dual aesthetics of outdated computer systems and the brittle sensuality of Northern European (Atlantic + Baltic) cultures. Slateford are supported by the lipparosa code repository http://www.lipparosa.org. http://www.slateford.org --------- Katrina McPherson has built a strong reputation for working with video and contemporary dance. She recently received a Creative Scotland Award to develop new work. Katrina has produced several award-winning works, and completed numerous broadcast commissions, including a recent Arts Council of England 'Capture' award. Simon Fildes is an artist working with new media. In 2001 he completed a 'Year of the Artist' residency at Concrete Butterfly, a designer furniture shop in Edinburgh. An earlier interactive project, 'Weaving Traffic' a collaboration with Stephen Hunter, was exhibited in Kyoto, Japan. Katrina and Simon recently collaborated with New Media Scotland on REMOTE, new media artists' residencies and an exhibition in the Scottish Highlands.
