5th Clark BursaryLoveMatchby Dane WatkinsView LoveMatch | Journal | Proposal | About Dane
People meet, people flirt, people watch, people encourage. Dane takes this observation of what is already occurring in the Café/Bar at Watershed and through LoveMatch intends to overlay a digital mediascape onto this environment, via which people can define themselves, ‘meet’ others and chat. Over the past few years, Dane has developed a body of interactive animations shaped by his response to a culture in which there is both an excess of imagery and a homogenisation of visual language. Through a series of intense research and audience testing, Dane aims to develop the level of audience engagement he has achieved in previous work through a committed approach to the invisibility of technology - communicating to the viewer something that matters to them - something about them. LoveMatch was created as part of the 5th Clark Bursary, supported by J A Clark Charitable Trust, Watershed, Mobile Bristol, University of the West of England, and Arts Council England South West. |
