onedotzero

Office faves onedotzero are back with another festival to knock your little socks off.
Running from the 14th till the 16th of November the ODZ peeps are giving us another tasty dose of visionary new work and pioneering talent in the world of moving image, digital and interactive art in the form of “Adventures In Motion”.

The festival in partnership with (and at) BFI Southbank will be a mixture of innovative short films, animation, motion graphics, music videos, groundbreaking feature film
previews with director question and answer sessions, alongside interactive installations, explosive live audiovisual and music performances, artist discussions, hands-on toy-hacking workshops and parties.

This years highlights include include two one-night-only live audiovisual events at the BFI IMAX: an exclusive collaboration between mercury prize nominee Nitin Sawhney and Es Devlin, renowned stage designer who has worked with Carmen to Kanye West, and an AV triple-bill, featuring VJ crem de la crème: The Light Surgeons, D-Fuse and Hexstatic. Boasting the largest screen in the UK, and unique 6.0 surround sound system it really is all that and a flapjack.
