Cliona Harmey
Artist
“Twinned with”
A 40 day time based photography project which explores ideas around photography, duplication and memory.It presents a clickable sequence of photographic images taken along a walking route on the periphery of an Irish coastal town (which I grew up in).During the 40-day project,the original images in the sequence are replaced with similar photographs from other locations using images which copy/equate the original images in composition or concept. All images have been created using a matchbox camera obscura attached to the lens of a digital video camera. This lens diffuses image detail, creating generic scenes, which could be attributed to a multitude of places.
Cliona Harmey is an artist who works with a variety of media including video installation, photography and the internet. She works as a part-time lecturer in Fine Art Media at the National College of Art and Design. This is her second presentation at DATA she previously showed a collaborative project SeaPoint which she created with Denis Mc Nulty for Variablemedia.

Methods of performing live electronic music
Charting different ways of performing electronic music. I’d start by explaining the restrictions of simply following a pre-arranged sequence and it’s lack of any real live element. By creating an environment to work within instead, the performer can manipulate the music playing at a relatively fundamental level, while maintaining a good balance of improvisation and structure.
Trev started writing music electronically 10 years ago. For the past six years, he has been co-writing music and performing under the name Ambulance (with Dunk), as well as Neanderthal Chum (with Toirse) and The Bearded Lady (with Biggrevs). He also writes his own music under the name Dave Nuremberg.
