[spectre] HOST: Beverley Hood - Doppelganger

[Chris Byrne]

New Media Scotland presents a new project for HOST:

Beverley Hood - Doppelganger

http://www.mediascot.org/host

Doppelganger is a real-time 3D interactive environment featuring a 
series of portraits of artists, set in simulations of their homes and 
studios. Doppelganger examines the role of digital technologies in 
representating real space.

This work for HOST forms part of the exhibition Doppelganger, at Street 
Level Photoworks, Glasgow, 30 March - 8 May 2004. The artist will give 
a talk at Street Level Photoworks on Saturday 17 April @ 3pm, and will 
undertake a 3D character modelling workshop on Sunday 18 April, both as 
part of Glasgow's Real Art Weekend.

Beverley Hood is based in Edinburgh. Her work with interactive media 
examines how we negotiate, identify and interpret transitions between 
real and virtual space. She has exhibited in the UK, Europe, North 
America and Japan and she has collaborated with a range of 
international organisations including: c3, Budapest; LUTCHI Research 
Centre, Loughborough; Akiyoshidai International Art Village, Japan; 
iaab, Basel. Currently Beverley is artist-in-residence at the Edinburgh 
Virtual Environment Centre (EdVEC), University of Edinburgh.

HOST is a space on the New Media Scotland web site dedicated to 
projects by artists. Earlier projects also available to view on HOST 
feature a range of Scottish and international artists including Beagles 
& Ramsay, Mike Stubbs, slateford, Katrina McPherson & Simon Fildes,
