This concept was born out of my Belfast Harbour Proposal. Since conceiving the project several months ago I have been experimenting with low resolution videography. I am intrigued by the subject, the magnification, macro-pixelation; the brilliant, shifting of colours within an individual pixel in a digital imaging device is an arresting phenomenon, especially when one considers the huge amounts of...

The project will involve a 20—30 minute audio-visual performance encompassing the skills of juggling, contact juggling, poi, staff, acrobatics and dance. These skills will be used to create visual shapes. Acrobatics and dance will enhance the oeuvre and give the composition movement.

This project has been in the...
