I know this show has a lot more than the video design to offer, but so far the video aspect is all I've gotten to see.  It's a lush abstract immersive video that plays to the theatrical non cinematic.  In other words worth seeing.

It's nothing short of amazing the amount and variety of video surfaces and environments that can be packed into a small blackbox like HERE.

" An epic journey is just a hair’s breadth from coming to a close! "

PRECIOUS CARGO…

Jim Findlay’s set is a
tour-de-force of moving parts. Together with Peter Norrman and Mirit
Tal’s video and Mallory Catlett’s staging, it is mesmerizing. But it is
big! It contains singing sculptures! And tube-driven oscillators! (All
part of Christina Campanella’s haunting score.) To get to Noorderzon,
it was packed into a 10’ x 20’ container and shipped from the port of
New York to Rotterdam. From there, it traveled north by truck, to the
Romeo Tent in the Noorderplantsoen park in Groningen, where the piece sang. Now we need to get it safely into storage, ready to go back out into the world again…

Times are tough, but it's time to help each other with cents and dollars because it's likely to be you asking next month.

A Show Of Hands, A participatory public art project

DPI resident Ed Purver invite you to submit what you want to tell the world, and he will join hands with your idea.

This is a rare chance at participatory architecture, Ed and his cast of hands translate positive sentiments into gesture, and then silently shout it from the windows of buildings.

The piece is best described by any of the photos, on the site or here, and for the best explanation of the participation see the submitted messages section of the website, and view some of the "video translations".

Then keep and eye out for larger than life limbs.

Since April 16, Michael Chladil has been in residence at the Digital Performance Institute working on rope&pulley - digital media control system. What began as further development of drawing with audio has turned into a hand-cranked, human-scale drum machine.

One of the motions I’ve been trying to represent physically is the selection of a region of audio. There are any number of screen-based ways to do this, but I wanted to create something mechanical that could do this.
