Is anyone interested in going to Berlin Transmediale at the end of January?

http://www.transmediale.de/ from the 31st Jan to the 5th Feb.

If 30 go we get the cost of travel and accommodation down to £350 for 6 days and 5 nights, flying from Gatwick.
The Transmediale event itself is likely to cost another £100 depending on the package and if I can get a group deal.

If you are interested can you let Liam know ASAP.

UNDER SCAN is a large-scale public art project commissioned by the East Midlands Development Agency in England. Thousands of “video-portraits” taken in Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton and Nottingham will be projected onto the ground of the main squares and pedestrian thoroughfares of these cities. At first, the portraits will not be visible because the space will be flooded by white light coming from the world’s most powerful projector. As people walk around the area, their shadow will be cast on the floor, revealing the video-portraits. The short video sequences begin with the subjects in a still position turned away from the camera. As they appear within pedestrians’ shadows, their bodies move and their heads turn to look straight at the pedestrian, potentially giving rise to an interesting range of interactions. When a shadow moves away from a portrait, the portrait likewise reacts by losing interest and looking away.
