      22 MAY - 3 JUNE ¬ RE-CONSTRUCT CINECHAMBER. MUTEK FESTIVAL. MONTREAL. CANADA. The new D-Fuse installation Re-Construct [Particle 3.0], which has been created specifically for Recombinant Media Labs' CineChamber, a 10-screen installation lab for panoramic performance, will premier in the installation at Cinema Excentris at Mutek Festival in Montreal, Canada. Re-construct [Particle 3.0] is a reworking of one of the main strands of D-Fuse's output from the last few years. Taking its cue from the live cinema performance pieces Particle and Latitude, Re-construct follows a trajectory from abstraction to reconstruction, creating a narrative that plays out as much through immersive spatial experience as it does over time. Investigating an urban space that is at the same moment real-and-imagined, the piece merges layers of experience that range from the existential to the reflexive, from singular concrete observations to abstract patterns and textures.

Other artists include Signal (Carsten Nicolai,Olaf Bender, Frank Bretschneider), Ryoichi Kurokawa, Telcosystems, Biosphere & Egbert Mittelstadt, Fennesz & Lillevan plus many more.

Recombinant Media Labs was founded to research the qualities and artistic potential of spatial media synthesis. It does so by means of experiential engineering, or exploring processes that expand the aesthetic and technological boundaries of simulative installation, surround cinema, and multi-channel AV environments. RML acts as producer and presenter of hybrid cross-genre artworks, residencies, and concerts in the mobile exhibition theatre. D-Fuse's reconstructive landing into this vacillating vortex brings in several distinctive contextual characteristics never before presented in Recombinant's experiential archives and by planting this projectile seed into the phono-optic fabric some further architectural extensions are anticipated. http://www.rml-cinechamber.org/%C2%A0; http://cinemaexcentris.com/MUTEK-presente-CINECHAMBER%C2%A0; http://www.mutek.org/tv/326-cinechamber-teaser%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0 18 MAY¬ WALK IN ILLUSION.

BRITISH LIBRARY CONFERENCE CENTRE. LONDON. UK. Michael Faulkner has been accepted to present his IE MRes paper Global Food Superhighways - How Food Shapes Cities at the British Sociological Association (BSA) Food and Society Conference. Following the success of last year's event, the aim of this third conference is to further examine the role of food in contemporary society, examining both empirical questions raised by the relation of food to social and intergenerational inequalities, and exploring theoretical issues of food as an item of consumption, cultural symbol and commodity. Global Food Superhighways investigates the relationship between food and cities by interrogating film, using observational methods and visual ethnography. Using food as his 'lens' and selecting from a database of video clips filmed over the past three years for D-Fuse's 'Endless Cities' project, Faulkner has edited 14 films for analysis, based on the inclusion criteria that they must have evidence of food, food culture, food products or food byproducts. The methodology used to analyse the films involved creating a series of categories or 'meta tags' relating to food and cities. The films were then put online, and a select audience of academics and practitioners was invited to view and comment, reflecting on the films and the themes coming out of them. Faulkner then combined these with my own analysis in a multimodal meta-narrative around the 14 films.The films and comments can be viewed viewed here. http://vimeo.com/album/1704327   www.britsoc.co.uk/events/food     www.britsoc.co.uk/specialisms/Food.aspx

Atlas: Geography, Architecture and Change in an Interdependent World combines recent thinking on human geography and architecture on global environmental change issues, setting out to develop a reinterpretation of cartography and a reframing of sustainability. The Atlas makes space for us to consider the practical and ethical challenges presented by globalisation and global environmental change. This website and linked publication: Atlas: Geography, Architecture and Change in an Interdependent World (Black Dog Publishing 2012), offers a range of contributions that navigate the novel ethical and political questions of our current state of global interdependence between people, places and things, near and far, in both space and time. This publication includes work from people and organisations who have participated in events arising out of the Interdependence Day (ID) project. D-Fuse's work Small Global was exhibited at the Interdependence Day(ID) project and is featured in the Atlas publication. Small Global is an ongoing installation project - an immersive space filled with data visualisations that highlight the interconnectedness between global consumption and various environmental and social issues. Themes addressed in Small Global include the destruction of the world's rainforest to make way for the cattle needed for fast food production, as well as ongoing wars in the Congo related to the mining of Coltan, a rare mineral crucial for mobile phone production, which has caused profound human suffering as well as the near extinction of gorillas in the Congo. The publication was produced in collaboration with the Open Space Research Centre at The Open University and is a collaboration between academics from the Geography discipline OU, the School of Architecture, University of Sheffield and researchers at the New Economics Foundation. http://www.atlas-id.org/8%C2%A0; http://blackdogonline.com/all-books/atlas.html%C2%A0; http://www.open.ac.uk/socialsciences/interdependenceday https://vimeo.com/album/248508%C2%A0%C2%A0; 3 JUNE ¬  TEDxUCL: PERSPECTIVES.
