THE REPLENISHING BODY

Ross Phillips

An interactive video installation created in collaboration with Evian, The Replenishing Body consists of a giant grid of screens which can each record a short loop of film. Participants can create and orchestrate a giant composite moving creature, or simply a collage of moving snapshots by recording a close-up section of their body part. The Project will comprise two parts. First, guests will be invited to the studio to trial run the installation and film themselves in a series of abstract portraits. To commence the second part of the project, Sunday 16 September will see the installation move to Beyond the Valley gallery on Newburgh Street where SHOWstudio welcomes you to try the installation for yourselves.

REVUE

On April 11 2007 SHOWstudio staged a live ‘happening’ in association with PlayStation 3, viewed by an on-site audience of fifty SHOWstudio viewers at a secret location and a global audience via webcast.

The SHOWstudio Revue created a dynamic performance space in which six different ‘zones’ were defined by dramatic or musical action. The project also drew a live audience into the complicity of the director/performer relationship by asking each member to record the event on camera. Excerpts of the footage were screened live using PlayStation 3s throughout the night and were included in the editing of an exclusive film unveiled by the SHOWstudio team later that month.

THE SOUND OF CLOTHES: ANECHOIC

Laura Bradley, Paul Hetherington, Nick Knight, Penny Martin, Ross Phillips, Zora Star

Anechoic is a 'collections story' project that used sound instead of visuals to interpret the essence of key garments from the A/W '06-7 season by leading fashion brands. A live recording session in a specialist recording studio -a hemi-anechoic chamber- on 1 June 2006 was used to create a series of groundbreaking interactives that for the first time in fashion media, detailed the precise sound of fashion materials such as feathers, sequins, glass crystals and beads, nylon, taffeta, leather, velvet, jacquard, zips and metallic chains. The live broadcast was also filmed, providing motion image footage of model Zora Star working in the unconventional, futuristic studio environment, which was then edited to create abstract shorts of each audio 'shot'.

VOICE BOX

Ross Phillips

Voice Box was a live audio installation created inside the SHOWstudio premises over the 2005-6 festive period by the SHOWstudio viewer base. The project asked viewers to make a voice or sound recording via telephone which was then ‘tied’ to the time it was submitted and repeated at that time each day from 23 December 2005—3 January 2006. This gradually produced a collaborative, time-based sound work.
