Live Cinema Documentary from toby*spark on Vimeo.

An “experimental documentary about a contemporary arts practice” made as part of my first year on the Media and Arts Technology doctoral training programme at Queen Mary, University of London. Having chosen Live Cinema as my practice - how could I choose anything else - the challenge of the film was to represent a form that is overtly broken out of a pre-determined, linear, framed format - in a format that is.

rbn_esc was my response to seeing vjing being stuck in nightclubs and treated as wallpaper when i knew the potential was so much more. It was self-consciously the 'next generation vj set' in my own personal development, but also a challenge to others to really push the idea of 'vj works', to create performances with identity and meaning... something that an audience might actually want to watch, centre stage.
