The theme of the conference is ‘The geographical imagination’ and it attracts over 1,000 geographers from around the world.

The paper is part of a session that reflects on the relationship between geography and art.

Two of our dance videos will be shown at the event and we are hoping for a lively dialogue with the public via web-cam or in person.

What is Moviehouse?
Moviehouse is an interactive screening series featuring film and video work by the city’s most intrepid moviemakers and performance artists. We project a curated show on alternative spaces throughout the city. At each screening we invite our audience into a salon-style dialogue among filmmakers, audience members and the wider community.

Movestream 02 Bending Cinema

Jeannette Ginslov interviews Islandic cartoon artist Ingi Jensson & German choreographer Heike Salzer, 11 June 2010 at the Dansehallerne Copenhagen Denmark, about their dance video installation work that resides on several sites and cities, in a variety of formats and also on an internet platform.

Is this a work that bends cinema? If it is, how?
What traditional modes of presentation is the work challenging? Do all these formats, platforms and sites, break and challenge the viewers perception of dance video? What parameters did you change in order for these works to exist on different viewing platforms? What kind of viewing experience does the viewer have and expect or are these expectations challenged?

Our installation Bekkur/Bænk 123 has been moved within the DanseHallerne (Dance Halls). It can now be found in the lounge of the Dansens Hus (dance studios) on two 42″ screens. We encourage everyone, who has the chance, not to let this opportunity – it’s a true eye candy.

Installation will run out the month of June 2010

Screen Moves presents SALT site-specific dance film installation BEKKUR / BÆNK 1, 2, 3…

Jens makes frames for Bekkur/Bænk 1,2,3,… from Salts on Vimeo.

We use four digital 10″ frames in our Icelandic setup at café Tíu Dropar.

To be able to fix them firmly and safely to the walls, we asked Jens Kristinsson to make for us wooden frames that would incase the digital ones.

Here is a short video we shot of Jens at work.
