The Digital Media Centre devises and hosts various projects for Education and group work. This can include addressing certain themes or targets. We can plan work and find suitable artists to deliver it.
We also undertake small digital video editing and production work. Some examples of our work are featured below.

Sound Installation
Sound artist, Max Eastley led the "Sound Installation: Interior & Exterior" artist development weekend here in November '08, as part of the season following our Sound:Space symposium event.
Participants spend time to discover the inner workings of Max's "Kinetic Drawings" installation in the Gallery, followed by some practical work, making hydrophones, and fishing for sounds in the small lake in the Park itself.
Artist Matt Davies participated in the weekend and gathered these great hydrophone recordings from the lake and fir trees on the road outside South Hill Park.

Xtend III : 2009
As part of the annual Lift Off! Dance Festival at South Hill Park Arts Centre from February through to April 2009, we will once again, be screening a selection of video pieces as a large scale projection in our Atrium bar/café area.
Xtend III presents eight artist video works featuring human bodies escaping gravity - bodies in flight, free-running, aerobatics and sky diving.
This year's selection includes the Channel 4 / ACE commision "Falling" by Dan Farberoff, previously shown on C4 at Christmas time.

Charcoal Animation
Lovely stop frame animation, using charcoal drawing made during our workshop in March 2009, led by animator T. Kim Noce.
Circuit Bending
Leicester-based artist and hardware hacker, Stu "ASMO" Smith led our "Circuit Bending" weekend in November 2008.
Circuit Bending is the experimental technique of modifying the circuits of children's audio toys, to create new and strange electronic sounds.
Starting with a vTech Tiny Touch Phone, each of the participants learned to rewire the device then build and add an additional LFO circuit to the board.
With the addition of a "Vactrol" led and light dependent resistor connection, the group were then able to link their devices under the control of a modular analog sequencer.
NB: Recorded examples below - not for the feint-hearted!
