Monitors around the space mixed with live artists on stage are
scheduled for a gala night, off and on, TV.
The programme will contain two modes of presentation: live works on stage alternating with recorded video works, shown on monitors positioned to offer the audience a closer-in viewing.

Jo Addison shows two short movies: i) Inventory - Objects modelled from monochrome plasticine travel, one after another, on a journey across the screen. A bin, a Wheat Crunchie, a ubiquitous plastic chair; for their brief, list-like appearance they are spare in detail and mismatched in scale. ii) The End – Edited in-camera, The End is a film of a sculpture; a record player playing Chopin, a roll of card full of pinholes and a lamp are all assembled to create the illusion of end credits. www.joaddison.com
Julia Calver shows Jet: a diagram formed of a continuously moving line, ticking and steadying itself against its own pressure.
Paul Carr/Jenna Collins/Chris Scobie.
Murphy's Wave: A building of compositions and volumes. 'Murphy's Wave' takes its initial impulse from an email conversation with Douglas Murphy, the world's foremost wave (machine) designer. In their 1st live performance since the Carr Radio 4; Carr, Collins and Scobie perform in a bid to build a storage facility for sound and pictures out of the given duration.

Lee Campbell will perform "Careful Whisper". Lee Campbell is a London based artist who uses sound and live performance to create dynamic interplays between what is heard and what is seen and how language can be misinterpreted and abstracted with startling effect.

Ami Clarke will show Weisse Wande (blank canvas) 2007. The work takes the fabric of an advertising hoarding, the raw material as such, and subverts its usual use-function to produce a sound and visual work. The local traffic passing nearby, recorded at the same event as filming, seems to affect the rippling fabric and produces a sound and visual combination that is surprisingly hypnotic in itself.

John Clayman. The footage was shot a couple of years ago and is unedited. This time spent on the shelf has allowed me to treat it as found footage. Looking at it again I found myself thinking of 'Ridley Walker' and '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Both primitive and post-apocalyptic. When asked to contribute, it seemed like the right context in which to finally show it.
A Proportional Responseby Chloe Cooper. Pursuing notions of cultural narrative and the communicability of experience Chloe Cooper focuses on the dimension change of the widescreen revolution and cause and effect in wider society. Featuring 4:3 16:9 14:9 (1.56:1) aspect ratios, letterboxing, and centre cut-out.
Amy Cunningham explores the implications of the futuristic and the nostalgic using her own voice and music in a visual context. The work is situated in galleries and other sites, often utilising classical music, new and obsolete technologies. For Noisy Image Amy will present 'Echo Fold Revolve' a work for single screen video and music performance, which uses the texture of early television technology.
Katharine Eastman. In August 2005, I gave my television set to a friend. It was getting to be all too much, since then I have felt much calmer.
Ludovica Gioscia. Through a series of ballpoint dot drawings and my voice edited together I am creating a low tech personal version of TV white noise. It will exist as an interlude shown inbetween other videos.

'Friends' by Dean Kenning is a video meditation on group dynamics, the desire for acceptance, the beauty of friendship, the beauty of cults, the bitter disappointment with those who let you down, so-called friends. It is about egos, loneliness and morbid self-pity.
Shama Khanais writer in residence for the night.
Bob Levene: Experiments for Microphones is made up of a series of short performances to camera exploring the relationship between the microphone, performer and camera.

Rachel Marspresents a new work.
Louisa Martin’s work encompasses live performance, video and improvised sound. This particular performance will entail a small and undrammatic act exploring self-representation in a mediated society.

In R.A.T.V. (1994)Bruce McLean is interviewed by Sean Dower about acts of vandalism that have taken place at the Rijksakademie. The interview was filmed during a T.V. Workshop that took place at the Rijksakademie in 1994.
Shane Munropresents work that isa test and part of the development and production of a new form of motor. It is to help identify parameters for the motor. The motor is being developed by drawing on ideas initially worked with by Naim June Paik.
Erika Nordqvistshows a very short film about dislocation, outpatients, drawing and the importance of being patient
Clunie Reid showsa video: "Things Fly About/ The Aesthetics of Fucked".
Witness (version 1)
They Are Hereinvite you to remember something we show you, to forget some bits, add some new things without realising and then to recreate it. As perfectly as you can. And show everyone.

Kunsu Shim - "changes" (1998) and "inserting TV" (1997), performed by Tim Parkinson
Kunsu Shim was born in South Korean in 1958, resident in Germany since 1985. He has written many scores for interdisciplinary performance, as well as concert works for regular instrumentaion, the similarity in both being in the manner of distribution of actions within the performance timeframe.http://www.kunsu-shim.de/bio-eng.html
Tim Parkinson is an independent composer and pianist living in London. http://www.untitledwebsite.com
Jack Southern will show documentation of 'Is And Of Itself'.‘Is And Of Itself’ is a series of kinetic sculptures/events documented though the medium of video. Through humorous associations of objects and their movements; ‘Is And Of Itself’ creates a dialogue between recorded and real time through a series of ‘experiments’ with the domestic television monitor.
The apparently unpredictable nature of the objects is controlled and powered by dynamos and motors, which enhances their anthropomorphic qualities.
Tetsuya Umeda: will perform a piece made with a video camera & a tv.
Altering fans, televisions, and other everyday appliances, converting their functions into something utterly different, UMEDA creates objects freed from their original meanings. His works, created to suit the spaces in which they will be installed, use utterly familiar, commonplace phenomena, channeled through his clever handiness and unique spatial sensibility, to create mysterious, seemingly impossible sensations. They thereby free one from rigid perceptions constrained by preconceived ideas.
