MIRROR at the LEVEL Gallery

Have just completed the installation of MIRROR [s] at the LEVEL Gallery, Derbyshire, UK. MIRRORS comprises three interactive screens programmed to react as people pass. Each screen is located in the corridor and has an optical camera which is used as a motion sensor as well as a image capture device. This work forms a part of the Inter-ACT + Re-ACT programme at the LEVEL Centre and has been commisioned as a part of my role as Atist in Residence. Images from the screens below.

Pulse

Just completed my first real installation as Artist in Residence at the LEVEL Centre. This multi media event formed a part of the large-scale environmental artwork, DERWENT PULSE created by Charles Monkhouse. This work comprises pulsing spheres flowing along the river Derwent from its source to the point it merges with the river Trent in Derby.

A Short Documentation of DIMENSION (V1)

DIMENSION - a 5 screen video installation for the South Bank Centre, London

A new commission to create a 5 screen audio visual installation at the South Bank Centre, London. This project has been developed by Random Line Media and Heart n Soul with the support of Lloyds TSB Foundation. It will have its first showing on the 13th of September (from 6.00 - 12.00pm).

Surface Tension

Surface Tension is the new multi media installation by Andrew Williams. It can be currently seen at Rufford Gallery, Rufford Abbey, Nottinghamshire, England from the 6th of February until the 20th of February 2012.

The main focus of Surface Tension  is a ten minute video loop of a young learning disabled performer wearing a wedding dress in a wood. This is not the beginning or end of a story, just the middle. It is left to you to fill in the gaps - Why is she in the woods? Why the dress, What happens next?

The TV screens use images of flowers, the woods and ideas surrounding the romance of a marriage.  Learning disabled people rarely get married, but are often engaged. Wearing a wedding dress in this context is a dream tinged with sadness. Surface Tension reflects this from one young persons’ point of view. It is not intending to give you the story, but an emotion. The narrative is up to you.
