2-Day Workshop: It’s Nice That & Charlie Doran – Loop the Loop

12/06/2017

 

“LOOP THE LOOP” was a two-day workshop experimenting with loops and GIFs—all to be used as part of a live audio/visual performance party at the festival.

The workshop focused on combining analogue methods of making, such as collage and stop-frame animation, with digital methods of processing such as camera phone apps and glitching — all mixed together for a group show, where participants had the chance to VJ, remix and distort their work live.

The workshop was held by Karl Toomey and Jamie McIntyre from It’s Nice That/INT Works, along with VJ and animator, Charlie Doran with live performance alongside music from 12th Isle and Handpicked.
