[ ] Come and Have Your Say
VOX POPULI : Vidocumentation by Delpha Hudson will be through ‘vox pop’ interviews, negotiated with the public at the event, through dialogue. Audiences will be asked which digital work they most like or dislike, and why. Drawing on the idea of 'found’ sound or footage, the vox pop interviews will not be controlled or edited by post-production processes, just placed on the web.

Electronic Village Galleries Penryn is part of a pilot project devised by Kate Southworth at University College Falmouth which is supported by Arts Council England. Electronic Village Galleries aims to develop a distributed platform that supports artists to host new media art events in their local village or town hall, and which links together local art communities in Cornwall and the South West of England with network and new media art and its global communities. It’s an experiment, so please join in and help to shape it!
