Join Goldsmiths geniuses Dr Carol MacGillivray and Bruno Mathez, who discuss and demonstrate their work with an experimental medium that creates an immersive experience of animation unmediated by screen or camera.

When: 6-8pm Thursday 3 July 2014
Where: Centre for Creative Collaboration, 14 Acton Street, London WC1X 9NG Map

Carol and Bruno – working collectively as TROPE – met at Goldsmiths in 2011. They invented the Diasynchronoscope, and have since produced a number of exploratory artworks by animating concrete objects through selective attention using projection mapping. They work from a studio based in South-East London.

Artist and researcher Carol MacGillivray comes from a background of animation and film editing and spent 20 years working across documentary‚ drama‚ music videos‚ and commercials. She taught film at the Royal College of Art and became a senior lecturer in animation at the University of West London. An increased interest in combining theoretical research and practice led Carol to undertake a PhD by practice in Arts and Computational Technology at Goldsmiths. Her PhD thesis Choreographing Time: Developing a system of Screen-less Animation researched the grammar of the Diasynchronoscope as a new medium.

Bruno Mathez is a French audiovisual artist, video producer, teacher and researcher based in London. His practice is dedicated to cross-medium experimentation with an emphasis on audiovisual techniques. Bruno has created visuals for music concerts‚ operas‚ dance and theatre shows, exhibited his installation Photophonics in the UK and toured internationally with interactive audiovisual group The Sancho Plan including a residency at the Ars Electronica Center. He’s teaching film-making for the Composing for Moving Images MA at City University London. He also undertook a MA in Computational Studio Arts in 2012 at Goldsmiths‚ university of London‚ where he explored the themes of visual music in space and interactive video sculptures.
