This was selected for the Tate online project 40 Artists 40 Days.

TWO MMU artists have been selected along with some of the world's greats for a Tate Britain project in support of London's Olympic Bid 2012.

40 Artists, 40 Days features the likes of Lord Rogers, Mario Testino, Paul Smith, Will Alsop and Michael Nyman and in a symbolic countdown to 6 July - D-Day for the International Olympic Committee decision.

The countdown calendar is designed to focus attention on Britain's exceptional creative talent, and features current student Chris Boyd and graduate architect Thomas Heatherwick.

Chris, 21, an Interactive Arts undergraduate has won a string of awards* for his innovative video work and was described by art critic Brian Sewell as "a genius".
Tate Britain said: "We asked 40 leading artists to provide a work, either original video, music, text, performance or visual art, which will be showcased here on Tate Online as a message of Olympic support, with a new piece being added every day until you can enjoy all 40.

"The Olympics is not just about a month of sport, it is about the transformation of our capital city with bold and beautiful sporting venues, innovative new gallery spaces, affordable housing and the largest urban park to be developed in Europe for 150 years.

"It is also an opportunity to showcase a 21st century Britain to the world, rich in 300 cultures and languages and in the enthusiasm, idealism and talent of our youth. And it is about the Arts -- celebrating Britain's great creative energy and individuals."

Genius artistico alla video forma e composizione

[hilschree]

This is video is soo good. All the colours are soo rich.

Well if hes an intellectually severe art critic hes onbviously repeatedly hailed his genius for a reason.

[quangojones]

I no longer respect the "intellectually severe" Art critic Brian Sewell; after (repeatedly) hailing Chris Boyd - "a genius".

Amazing. Its like late Titian meets cyberpunk surrealism. Some parts remind me of Serial Experiments Lain.
