Bristol Video Workshop

So Alex and I will be teaching a beginners workshop in analogue video techniques as part of Encounters Festival at the Arnolfini Gallery on Saturday the 20th of September. The whole reason and drive behind the workshop is as  part of Mclaren 2014 a celebration of Norman McLaren's work and  life. Joseph who is the force behind Seeing Sound festival asked if I would put together a workshop exploring some analogue video techniques. The Arnolfini is one of my favourite venues down south, I recently caught a screening of Jordan Belson's work on film which absolutely blew me away and they seem to have a regular program of interesting audio visual and electronic performance stuff. Alex and I have prepared a simple starter in to the world of electronic video with some basic experiments to try and a little background history.

ARNOLFINI
Chris J King and Alexander Peverett
10:00 – 13:00
£25 

Media Artists Chris J King and Alexander Peverett will present a workshop on hands on video techniques influenced by McLaren. The themes in McLaren’s work of drawn sound and visual music were expanded by later artists using electronic video and video synthesis. The workshop will include an introduction to both the historical and technical aspects of electronic video work as well as the construction of a simple circuit and experimentation with video feedback. Be prepared for vivid colours, frenetic sounds and dancing shapes! The cost includes all the parts to make your circuit to take away and play with as well as mirrors to manipulate video feedback and a small publication containing all the information covered in the workshop.
