Online Takeover

 

Paul Flannery, Rhys Coren, Laurel Schwulst and Oliver Sutherland

During April, the 'Short Sharp Blow to the Head' series sees bubblebyte.org present Energia Della Danza, an online collaboration of artists working together to disrupt the online presence of Trade and its usual way of working. This transformation of the usually clean, white Trade website consists of revised webpage coding (html+css) by Paul Flannery, dancing backgrounds by Rhys Coren, looped sound files by Oliver Sutherland and a special spinning globe navigation bar image (.ico) by Laurel Schwulst.

Energia Della Danza pays homage to the early 90s TV show Dance Energy, part of the BBC's DEF II programming directed solely at teenagers in the UK. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw1vd9o1uM0)

bubblebyte.org is an online gallery showcasing artists that engage in a creative way with the digital space, stressing the multiple possibilities of the media. bubblebyte.org/ is a project by artist Rhys Coren and curator Attilia Fattori Franchini.
