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.

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. Videos Presented: Ray Mongey "Little Blue Boy" Ray Mongey was born in Dublin, Ireland. He is currently freelancing in web & flash design whilst working on short films, studying animation in college and setting up an animation multimedia company. From concept artwork to post production and five years of 3D-animation/design experience behind me. Over the course of the last five years he has worked with a number of companies from the UK and Irelandand had films shown in festivals in the UK and Ireland, on the internet and aired on MTV for winning their short film competition two years running.
