Location:
London,
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
28th August - 25th September
Opening event, 3rd September 6 – 9pm
Open days, 28th August – 25th September, Thursday to Saturday, 12 – 6pm
For their residency at Arebyte Gallery during August/September 2015 artists’ collective thickear are configuring the gallery as a multi-function space for research and public interaction for their new performance-installation piece thickear Records Store (TRS).
thickear Records Store offers visitors the chance to take away limited edition thickear cassette tapes with personalised sleeves in exchange for personal information. The sleeves and the contents of the tapes themselves are assembled from the participant’s answers during a one-on-one consultation with one of the four members of thickear. A second copy of the data collected is kept and placed in record racks for visitors to dig through.
As with previous thickear projects, thickear Records Store features participation as a crucial aspect of the work, centred on creating moments of exchange between audience and artist as part of a shared act that relates to everyday transactions in personal information on social media platforms, civil bureaucracy and contemporary consumerism.
The collective are also conducting a pop-up version of thickear Records Store at surprise locations during the residency, the dates and venues for which will be revealed on a week by week basis during TRS’s tenure. During these excursions Arebyte Gallery will take on an archival format and feature an additional video work.

Dates:
Fri Jan 30, 2015 18:30 - Fri Jan 30, 2015
Location:
London,
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
This Floating World is a new work from Jan Lee and Tim Murray-Browne combining dance with interactive sound and graphics. Let us take you on a journey of building and dismantling oneself through an immersive audiovisual environment of organic and ethereal atmospheres. The dancer interacts with this space through her movement, amplifying her expressivity in her search for a moment of 'oneness with the world'.

BIOGRAPHY TIM MURRAY-BROWNE:
Tim Murray-Browne is an artist and creative coder working with sound, graphics and movement-based interaction. Through installation and performance works he explores how physical and social interactions form our understanding of who we are and how we relate to those around us. Murray-Browne completed his PhD researching interactive music and art at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London in 2012. He has since completed a residency with Sound and Music working with the Music Hackspace, the outcome of which was awarded the 2014 Sonic Arts Prize (Digital Art category). His work has been shown at venues including the Barbican, the V&A and Berkeley Art Museum. http://timmb.com
BIOGRAPHY JAN LEE:
Jan Lee is an artist creating performance at the intersection of dance and music, often fusing it with technology and science. She works from unfolding streams of sensation, perception, and relationship to the immediate environments, exploring the changing qualities that pass through us moment to moment. This includes elements of somatic awareness, performance art, physical theatre, soundscapes and electronic/acoustic music.
She performs as a dancer, musician, or interdisciplinary performer in productions that are usually immersive, interactive and focus on the audience/performer relationship. She also teaches and facilitates live events and educational spaces that bring people together from all backgrounds in a creative environment.
This Floating World was created and directed by Tim Murray-Browne and Jan Lee.
