/news/Life raft showing as part of Upgrade!

Life raft (2006) by Charlesworth, Lewandowski & Mann is currently touring as part of Upgrade! Scotland’s B-SIDES programme. B-SIDES is a short programme of artists’ film and video works that highlights one-liners, by-products of larger creative outputs, outtakes, and radical experiments. Artists all produce works which allow them to test out new techniques and ideas, and digital video is the sketch pad for many contemporary new media artists. However, these artefacts do not often make it to a public exhibition. New Media Scotland is celebrating the rough beauty in these video remnants by presenting this programme.

The programme has already toured to Okalahoma, Boston, Vancouver and Edinburgh and we will be updating the website regularly with news of forthcoming dates alternatively visit Upgrade! International for more information.
