dragline

Video projection and soundtrack remixed live.

Screen Tests 1/4 Screen Tests: The film unfolds as a series of Andy Warhol-like screen tests, slowly revealing the location and the occupation of those before the camera - students and models from a UK School of Art.
Screen Tests 2/4 Dragline: Dragline stumbles across an autonomous event, and echoing 1970’s structuralist film, returns the default setting of contemporary digital practice - sampling and looping - to its industrial roots.
