Céleste Boursier-Mougenot February 9, 2010

French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways.
For his installation in The Curve, Boursier-Mougenot creates a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape.

Three Cases of Amnesia November 27, 2009
Posted by admin in : Augmented Reality, Information, Performance , comments closedThis could be a really interesting event for second years studying the Performance Video unit. Apologies for the short notice, just picked this up.
Award-winning choreographer Jonah Bokaer is bringing his unusual performance Three Cases of Amnesia to Alllesbrook Lecture Theatre Bournemouth University on Friday 27th 6.30pm.
The solo piece incorporates dance, 3D animation and video art and is both choreographed and performed by Jonah. It’s part of a programme of events to promote Pavilion Dance – the world-class dance centre under construction in Bournemouth Pavilion.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in dance or digital media to see something very unique. Jonah has performed worldwide and worked with Merce Cunningham – the founding father of modern American Dance – so securing his talent here is a real coup.
