This months Late at Tate Britain showcased a vibrant audiovisual collective NE1CO. NE1CO is a freshly squeezed group of audiovisual artists, specially selected by VJ Anyone, to meet the growing demands in moving-image production from the music, arts and entertainment industries. NE1CO presented a brilliant audiovisual event, the “AV Social”, including installations, performances and screenings from some of Europe's finest VJ’s and audiovisual artists.

I was blown away by Rod Maclachlan and Jem Noble’s installations from Black Out Arts who performed live audiovisual works projecting shadow images from a plant, chopsticks and sawdust- simply amazing! Blackout Arts are apparently playful, serious and open to suggestion! After speaking to Rod it seems that they are well up for collaboration with promoters, aiming to produce new and unique effects at events. This makes me a very excited about approaching them to work together in the future. They are also part of the Venn Festival/Bristol crew which strengthens our engagement.  I was also mesmerized by Bopa and Bruno Tait’s collaborative video installation that used moving head video projections and video works from artist Hiraki Sawa- check out the beautiful videos of the white busts and grandfather clock-esque projections.
