Bernie was joined by Marta Braun from Ryerson University, a  specialist in early cinema photography and visual anthropology. Bernie has exhibited internationally including Ars Electonica in 2007  where he received the Award of Distinction for Interactive Art. ‘A  Theory of Entanglement’ 19 June - 6 Sept 2009 formed part of FACT’s  year-long UNsustainable programme, which debated the multiple issues  currently facing the planet, as a response to Liverpool’s Year of the  Environment. Bernie takes particular inspiration from the work of French  physiologist and chronophotographer Étienne-Jules Marey who was  obsessed with understanding movement - and Marta Braun is superbly  placed to provide an insight into Marey’s work. From horses and birds  to human limbs and the heartbeat, Marey’s work was pioneering in  cinematography, medical imaging, cardiology and aviation. After  suffering cardio problems in 1995 Bernie adapted Marey’s pneumatic  sensor technologies to explore the conflicted relationship we have  with the machines we have become so dependent on. 01:21:00 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 12:58:03 +0000 /videos/watch/744 To launch our summer exhibition at FACT, Bernie Lubell A Theory of Entanglement , the artist discussed his work over breakfast in the Box.

Early works such as Meat Joy, in which semi-naked performers grappled with one another within an orgiastic mélange of fleshy, messy materials, shifted the visceral materiality of the body into the expressive realm of the painter’s canvas. In the context of the women’s movement in the 1970s, Schneemann’s practice introduced the body of the artist as the source of creative and imaginative energy as well as the site and subject of the work.  Dates: 23-27 September 2009 Location: Tate Liverpool, Albert Dock, Liverpool 00:03:25 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:47:33 +0000 /videos/watch/731 AND is proud to present an exhibition and personal appearance by the renowned American artist Carolee Schneemann, who will take over Tate Liverpools Wolfson Gallery for the duration of the festival.

Rather than resorting to interview, we thought we'd experiment to create something entirely visual and cut it to specially commissioned music.   Rob was interested in urban landscapes, so we took the camera within walking distance of his studio in London and started to collect a series of wide shots with interesting composition. In the edit, we chose to highlight certain figures in the scenes according to the colours he uses in his paintings.  We cut the City scenes against a series of home-made animations (which were filmed from a computer screen with Microsoft Paint). The final third of the film is entirely made from digital stills cut at 24 stills per second, to create a stop-motion effect of the painting being created." </div> 00:03:31 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:02:30 +0000 /videos/watch/730 Liverpool Film Night Online - '4 New Sensations: Rob Sherwood' by director Zara Hayes "I was commissioned to make this film to showcase the work of painter Rob Sherwood, a finalist in '4 New Sensations', an art prize from the Saatchi Gallery and Channel 4.

Following his love of music and a few thoughts on life, this is a short film about one man who has played one instrument for half a century and five years. There was no budget for the film, but it ended up costing around £200, this was mainly to build the dolly system & tracks. It was filmed on HDV, with 35mm prime lenses. The Church scenes used 3 x 800w arri heads. With each film I try to plan meticulously, compiling and designing detailed pre-production folders & storyboards. With The Organist I only story boarded the scene where the screen rises as it was possible to plan, unlike the Church in Tranmere and Dave's house which were very fluid and of the moment set ups. 00:00:30 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:27:57 +0000 /videos/watch/729 The Organist is a short documentary film about Cinema Organist Dave Nicholas who has been playing the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall Cinema screen up for twenty years.The film features Dave playing the organ at the United Reform Church in Tranmere, Birkenhead, where he has played the services for ten years.

An eclectic array of experts from the worlds of science, health, sport and culture will be considering notions of social justice, human rights and equality.

The hit laden set, dripping with classics such as Enola Gay and Joan of Arc, and stuffed with exclusive firsts, such as the primary live outing of Radio Prague, is captured in all its magnificence on ‘Electricity: OMD with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’.  The band’s determination to utilise the entire orchestra to maximum effect saw Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys abandoning almost all the original instrumentation in favour of complete re-workings of the song arrangements. The result is so much more satisfying than the usual “safe” attempts of rock and pop acts to add a little classical colour to their catalogue! Aided by Hambi’s commanding film backdrop, the blazing and abstract imagery augments the breathtaking theatrics of this unique musical and artistic performance. The inimitable gig will be available on general release on November 30th 2009 for pre-orders via the FACT website:  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.fact.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://shop.fact.co.uk/</a> .

Friday 25 September 2009 Presented in the historical St Georges Hall St George's Place, Liverpool, L1 Opp. Lime Street train station. Nearly 100 years after DW Griffith's epic Birth of a Nation was released, DJ Spooky (aka Paul D Miller) has applied a "DJ mix" to one of the most revered and reviled films ever made. Miller's reading of the overt racism depicted in a Reconstruction-era South hurtles Griffith's images into the 21st Century, a socio-political landscape that has evolved beyond all expectations. Using cinematic history as the starting point for critique, not only of a horrifying past, but for a new vision that interrogates what we think of multi-culturalism, in a world that is rapidly becoming Americanised. Tickets can be booked through the FACT book shop or through<a>hello@andfestival.org.uk</a>  (Limited amount of 3 tickets per person.)

Theories such as Epigenetics, the idea is that environmental factors can cause an organism's genes to behave (or "express themselves") differently, even though the genes themselves don't change, point to the complex self-organising qualities of matter.  Strange Attractors is a playful study of these complex relationships; Using light projected onto the ground, it examines the relationship between the motion of real, inanimate, and virtual bodies. When people enter the space they become active participants, as magnetic bodies themselves, bringing life and animation, disturbing and redistributing the ﬂow of energy through the system.  The beauty of Strange Attractors will lie in the interactions it encourages between its participants. They are the work. The piece will encourage playful interactions between individual participants and each other. Whilst the work will be modeled to encourage particular forms of interaction at specific times, the nature of these interactions will, of course, be unpredictable...

From his website, "Nowtopia is a book about a new politics of work. It profiles tinkerers, inventors, and improvisational spirits who bring an artistic approach to important tasks that are ignored or undervalued by market society.  Rooted in practices that have been emerging over the past few decades, Nowtopia’s exploration of work locates an important thread of self-emancipatory class politics beyond the traditional arena of wage-labor.
