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.

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'.

THE SOUND OF CLOTHES: SYNAESTHESIA
Daniel Brown, Susannah Frankel, Nick Knight, Nick Ryan
During the shoot of a 'Balenciaga special' by Nick Knight for Pop magazine in November '05, digital artist Daniel Brown was invited on set to respond to Nicolas Ghesquiere's Spring/Summer '06 collection. Inspired by its delicately layered, translucent garments, Brown proposed a series of interactives based on the unpublished images from Knight's story (published in January '06). Using the notion of 'pictures for the blind' as a stimulus, a collaboration with synaesthete and sound designer Nick Ryan ensued, aiming to interpret the source garments and images through sound. Follow the project from its initial meetings and tests to the final interactive works below, as Brown guides you along via a series of intimate film blogs.

The performative elements many artists are using as a strategy within their larger working method are creating a fascinating discourse between music, performance and artworks.
