THE DUELLISTS
MediaShed ft David Valentine and Methods of Movement

The Duellists is now available to view online. One of the new  
artworks commissioned by Futuresonic in 2007, it has been shown 18  
times at international events, and identified by New York Times as  
the highlight of Eyebeam's Source Code exhibition.

The Duellists was one of 3 major new commissions in Futuresonic's Art  
For Shopping Centres exhibition, also featuring Harwood and Katherine  
Moriwaki, which was developed over an 18 month period and featured  
linked activities across the UK.

MediaShed were invited to the Manchester Arndale Shopping Centre by  
Futuresonic to make a film combining free-media with free-running.  
Parkour, or freerunning, involves fluid, uninterrupted movement,  
adapting motion to obstacles in the environment. MediaShed created  
the film overnight in the Arndale shopping centre, filmed using only  
the in-house CCTV system, and it was then shown on the screens inside  
the shopping centre from 10-20 May 2007.

The Futuresonic 2008 theme is The Social - Social Networking  
Unplugged. Digital culture burns bright with a vision of being not in  
isolation but in groups, placing the relations between people first.  
Beyond the hype lies ever greater isolation and conformity. Join us  
as we go in search of the social.

Web 2.0...
I take part
you take part
he takes part
we take part
you all take part
they profit.
(Slogan from Paris '68, remixed)
