onedotzero_10

onedotzero is pleased to announce that longstanding contributor, Intro, has
created the moving image idents for the onedotzero_festival programmes.

In response to this being the tenth anniversary of the festival, the theme
is slightly retrospective: Intro explain the concept:
The ident is based around the idea of the roots of computer technology in
the pre digital world - a world of music boxes, jacquard looms, punch cards
and relay switches. Music box mechanisms were the precursors to punch cards
as ways of communicating binary information, the Jacquard loom used
punch-cards to essentially program the loom to create complex textile
patterns (looked at now they resemble 8-bit computer drawings). The first
real computer circuit was created using telephone relay switches. Our
contemporary digital world is linked to pre-electric era of automated crafts
and musical automata. This has a resonance with the tenth anniversary of
onedotzero - both in the way that it references history but also it is
mirrored in a lot of the work that's being produced now. Computers have
become almost invisible, powerful tools which are being used to facilitate
craft.

The onedotzero festival will be at the ICA, London, 2-11 June 2006
