DO WHITE


miu (Bochum)


'Do White'- Can you hear the 'music'? What about my 'dance'? Can you? In 'Do White' miu employs his media transmission system to take a critical look at the dialectical materialism in the cognitive process of humans by interfering with the borderline between three physical phenomena (sound, visual and body movement) which are commonly used in contemporary dance performances.

ALICE MEDIA


Per Pegelow (Dortmund)


Alice Media is an interactive animated short film adapted from Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The user explores an interactive video labyrinth and meets in the process various characters from the novel. Despite the free nature of Pegelow's adaptation, parallels with Carroll's Alice books are clear. The novels serve as allegories for the uses of modern technologies.
