Josh King | Little Lumen
The Little Lumen programme initiated by
Name was recently launched by CoMusica at The Sage Gateshead. Josh
King (14 yrs) is the first participant to complete a course aimed
at giving young people the chance to express themselves in an audio
visual sense. For 2020, Josh presented a Pioneer DVJ set combining
music videos with bespoke footage of
professional dancer Amanda Drago (his Mum!). |

Name
| Number Three: Privy
This bespoke audio visual work has as its
central themes loss, exposure, anonymity, secrecy and catharsis.
Name developed this as a work in progress via the Lumen events
and it reaches its first stage of fruition at 2020. Technical assistance
on the Privy soundtrack has come from talented
sound artist James Postlethwaite.
Nik Barrera gratefully acknowledges financial
support from the PRS Foundation |

Laserfinger | Face-Off
Sound by Nicolas Moench
Berlin
based video artist Peta Jenkin’s
2020
performance attempts to capture/display human
emotive nuances by presenting a series of portrait-style sequences
of faces. Consistent framing reduces the images to a single aesthetic.
Alongside Peta, musician Nicolas Moench added chaos to this
assemblage of facial expressions via audio constructed
from live recordings and samples.

*spark | rbn_esc
Toby ‘*spark’ has been one of the driving forces in
the UK’s burgeoning VJ and audio visual scene. His 2020 performance
‘rbn_esc’ fused cinema and live experimental visuals.
It presented a series of character scenarios, inviting the audience
to construct narrative and cultural critique. Originally a VJ based
set, 2020
commissioned this
audio visual version. |

RhythmVision | Cannon Canon
Sound
and performance artist Steve Buchanon used his unique sound floor
for a non-didatic exploration of the various canons inherent in
art, history, science, politics and economics as
well as the myths that they inevitably engender.
Video artist Boris Edelstein (garagecube.com) used the ground breaking
VJ software
‘Modul8’ to
embellish Steve’s vision.
