2. SUKY BEST: 10 Journeys On exhibition 22 - 27 September at Ashburton
Gifts & Gallery 4 East Street, Ashburton, Devon

"Ten People gave me their daily or regular journeys. I filmed
these, teasing out tiny sections, compressing others." - suky best

Suky Best's 10 Journeys is a series of photo-sequences created with Aune
Head Arts for exhibition on Dartmoor, exhibitions depicting the journeys
that Dartmoor people make across the moor. It may be the blurring of
gorse past a car window, a glimpse of a helicopter hovering over a tor,
a group of cattle or sheep seen in sequence.

10 Journeys is a joint project between Aune Head Arts and DA2 as part of
the Cross Country series of rural commissions. The exhibition will tour
to other regional venues.

3. DAVID BICKERSTAFF & BERNARD COHEN: Foreign Logics On exhibition in
the New Media Centre of the ICA London until 30 September

Foreign Logics - thirty tourist episodes is a prose work conceptualised
for screen-based, interactive reading. Its texts appear as chance
encounters, unexplained interruptions to a journey, and places where
words seem to drift in and out of meaning. It offers the tourist's
experience of language: mistranslations, words overheard and partly
comprehended, language used too fast or stretched out so slowly that the
beginning of a sentence disappears as it's end approaches.

We remember places for their (instantly judged) feel of love or threat.

Everywhere: insomnia, vertigo and the smell of cooking.

Visuals: David Bickerstaff Text: Bernard Cohen Programming: Paul
Whittington

Supported with funding from the Arts Council of England

4. and OTHER DA2 NEWS: new support/ new location

Apologies to our friends who have not heard from us for a while!

This summer, DA2 completed its 3 year programme of work in the South

we've been finalising reports to funders over the last few months). We
are delighted that we are now being supported through the Centre for
Arts Research, Technology and Education (CARTE) at the University of
Westminster to continue with our programme of national projects. Now
based at the university we are developing a new programme that will also
increasingly look at the role of research within digital media arts
projects.
