Apologies for the radio silence on FIELD/process during the last weeks. After returning from a really lovely trip to Belgium, we had to catch up with a few things and get started with a row of new projects.

At the beginning of October, we presented Interim Camp at the Pluto Festival in Opwijk near Brussels. The festival included an exhibition of 12 installations and two nights of concerts and parties.

It was great to see the film again on a big screen and staged in an exhibition. We installed Interim Camp like a floating tableau in a very central position of the exhibition hall. It caught the eye from many viewpoints in the wide space, an old industrial building.
In most media art shows disturbing, here the musical overlaps that occurred with the other exhibits were really interesting and conjunctive: with the subtle mechanical clicking of Phillip Beesley’s fragile sculpture, with the bell sounds from Kristina Ianatchkova’s magical, perception-tricking swing installation, and with Pieter Coussement’s heart-beat triggered noise compositions in the installation Heart as an Ocean.

Another favourite in the show were Joe Saavedra’s Spatialized Umbrellas which translate proximity to other people into sound and light effects.

Friday night lay on an impressive music line-up with Jon Hopkins, FourTet, Rustie and turntable master DJ Kentaro.

Thanks again to the Nijdrop team and the curators for their professional work and great hospitality, and their tireless efforts to introduce us to the richness of the local brewing tradition!

Watch documentations on vimeo or youtube, and see more photos from the setup in our flickr set.
