BRIEF BIOGS

RESPONSIVE ECOLOGIES
(6 Dec - 21 Jan 2011)

A new interactive installation by captincaptin and Parag K Mital, Responsive Ecologies explores notions of captivity, collective behaviour and human-nature social relations

Gareth Goodison and Jonathan Munro of Captincaptin work collaboratively to create artworks that can only exist in a completed form when the viewer actively engages with them, encouraging the audience to re-address their role in the display and creation of contemporary art.

MUSION ACADEMY

Based on the Victorian optical illusions of Peppers Ghost, Musion's cinematic installations allows for 3D optical illusions, spatial cinematic experiences and most of all on stage interactivity with virtual worlds. This leads to a re-conception of the virtual space - The cinematic world merges with the real world allowing for new visual strategies for artists. The Musion Academy is a forum to explore such strategies, creatively and technically. In the last 2 years 350 artists joined the Musion Academy.
