SELL OUTS
So it seems everyone has their price. Iggy Pop and Johnny Rotten have decided to be advocates for consumption. Butter and Insurance. Nice work, so is that what you do when you get old and run out of money? I guess it always catches you in the end.
Been playing around with Indexhibit creating the bones of the website for Outdoor AV.

The Projector Tank
‘The Projector Tank is a not-for-profit, independently powered, community mobile cinema. Its mummy is probably ‘alternative film distribution networks’. Its daddy is probably ‘renewable energy practice and education’. There might also have been a postman called ‘recovering and occupying public space’ but he is more like a weird uncle we don’t talk about that much. It was conceived somewhere late in 2005 and helped through birth by Felix, Beth, Sylvie and Jonny. It started out life in East Anglia, went on holiday to Romania in Spring 2007 and is now primarily based in London.
All screenings are free to watch. Typical venues include school playgrounds, village greens, parks and common land, supermarket car parks and warehouse walls. We are always on the lookout for new spaces – hearing about an interesting space where you think we could put something on is as welcome as is as a sure-thing venue.
The rig is vehicle mounted – it consists of a long throw digital projector, digital mixer, 1K sound system, VHS DVD and laptop sources, a collapsible screen and ‘all weather’ awning with a capacity for about thirty people. It is powered by solar panels charging a large battery bank and fully charged we can show films for eight hours straight.’
The Projector Tank is a very similar project to Outdoor AV. A grassroots communal non profit project. I think we differ in the kind of films we show i.e. ares is more art and shorts based. Plus we are using our format to showcase emerging artists.
United Visual Artists
United Visual Artists – This guys are amazing, I saw them play live with Massive Attack in September they were awesome. Really interesting visuals, simple ideas done really well and very political too. Really good collaboration. This work is from an installation at the V&A in London.

I’m really interested in light installations and think that they would work well as street art. I think light can be quite powerful especially at night but find it elegant and soft as well.

The Light House
I wish I knew where this was from and how it was done. If its lights inside or shining on to the end of the house. This is exactly the kind of thing there should be more of in urban spaces and is a really playful example of installation street art.
