Expo 26.

The EXPO takes place in the Chateau D’Agoult in the Place de La Fontaine in St Michel. It will be in situ from April 13rth to June 15th. The Chateau also has the Tourist Office and many visitors are expected over the period.

Huw has made 5 compilations of videos, each lasting 20 minutes . Each compilation will be back-projected on a screen, on a loop, in a beautiful cellar of the Chateau. Compilations will change every three weeks, and will be posted here on the website when they appear at the EXPO.

Each compilation consists of a short IKON, followed by a longer HAIKU and then a section of a larger piece called Derive. Derive is a psychogeography based on the work of the Situationists. It has the following sections, each, in turn, forming the centre of the compilations. These sections are:

Semiotique Urbaine 1 /Urban Semiotics 1;

Semiotique Urbaine 2 /Urban Semiotics 2;

Panoptique/Panopticon;

Reconaissance Facial/Face Recognition;

Passerelle/SkyWalk.

Course sur la Pluie/Rain: a short IKON of a window with running rain

Lignes/Lines: A Haiku of telegraph wires, birds alighting and in the mist the conversations along the lines imagined in muffled tones.

Semiotique Urbaine 1/Urban Semiotics 1: The first section of the OPUS Derive which takes us on a journey through urban signage.

Carte Meteorologique/Weather Map: An abstract evocation of a weather map as imagined in a river whirlpool.
