Millions online… video… home-editing… YouTube… conversational spectacle overnight… gulf between cinematic and lo-fi film narrows… viewers become creators… anarcho-democracy. TestBed 1 showcases the series of new digital screen-based commissions produced during open residencies at Beaconsfield between March and September 2010.

TestBed 1 artists’ discussion: 19 September at 2pm

Chaired by Francis Summers, an open discussion with artists commissioned for TestBed 1 will take as its starting point the idea that internet ‘browsing’ may have become implicit in the process of making work.

Francis Summers is a video artist and lecturer, currently conducting doctoral research by practice at the Royal College of Art, London.

TestBed 1 is produced as part of Beaconsfield’s curatorial mentoring scheme for emerging artist-curators. Mentees: Dafna Talmor and Joseph Walsh.
