Friday Late at the V&A
24 February 2006 18:30 - 22:00hrs
V&A Museum, London, UK
2006 marks the tenth anniversary of onedotzero, and a host of exciting events and projects. Starting the celebrations, onedotzero is proud to collaborate with The Victoria and Albert Museum to curate a very special live event for the V&A’s February Friday Late.
The V&A is the world's greatest museum of art and design, with collections unrivalled in their scope and diversity housing 3000 years' worth of amazing artefacts from many of the world's richest cultures including ceramics, furniture, fashion, glass, jewellery, metalwork, photographs, sculpture, textiles and paintings.
onedotzero_transvision, is a unique evening of magical moving interventions that will surprise and enchant the visitor, encouraging them to explore and react to the museum space and its exhibits in a totally new light.
onedotzero invited over 20 key creatives from the diverse moving image field to create work in response to an exhibit or collection. The works create a series of engaging sensory explorations through the V&A, leading the viewer on an intriguing journey through familiar and unfamiliar environments.
With work spanning the disciplines of motion graphics, music videos, short films, interaction design, live audio visual performances, music and architecture, the interaction of ideas and media with the exhibits and space will extract new meanings from the classic objects within the collections and build unexpected relationships between object and film.
Artists taking part include Airside, the London based design company creating for Coca-Cola, Panasonic, Orange and Lemon Jelly; D-Fuse, creators of the visuals for Beck's Guero DVD and world tour; MTV ident and Monkey Dust creatives Peepshow; the Bafta nominated interactive architect and artist Jason Bruges; Neutral, part of the design team for the winning entry to create a stadium for the 2006 World Cup in Munich; Trevor Jackson, founder of Output Records, pioneering music producer, DJ, remixer for artists such as U.N.K.L.E. and seminal record sleeve designer; The Light Surgeons, a collective whose work spans pioneering projected visual displays in clubs and events to producing and directing digital film, fine art installations and live mixed media, and United Visual Artists who produce innovative live graphic installations for band tours including Massive Attack and U2.
