Scratch Video Re-visited

March 22, 2019 by nickcopefilm

The programme notes for the Rewind screening of Scratch videos in 2008 described Scratch being ‘generally forgotten about in contemporary culture’. Since then there has been a re-emergence of interest in Scratch. In writing about my own experience and engagement in the original scene of the early 1980s and the contexts for this in my PhD in 2012, a number of opportunities have arisen since for screenings of older work, as well as to present academic papers and publish both […]

Installation, Projection and Public Arts projects

October 5, 2013 by nickcopefilm

Since the earliest days of screening work in public, in concerts with Tiab Guls/Metamorphosis in the early 1980s, through to more current recent work with Tim Howle, public presentation of my work has involved exploration of expanded cinematic practices, installation and multi-projection possibilities. Sometimes this has been in live cinema and concert contexts, in nightclubs, concert halls or conference spaces; sometimes in galleries, site-specific locations, or public spaces; using film, video, computer or slide projection, or a combination of all […]

I moved to London in 1987 making contact once again with Paul […]
