Bring Your Own Beamer

5th Annual Event

16th - 17th September 2016

Collaborative moving image, projection, participation and experimentation.

BYOB Brighton turned 5 and we made it even bigger!

Find a space, invite artists, ask them to bring a projector.
The idea is simple but the outcome is a creative free-for-all of light and colour.

Pop-up Brighton’s night of experimentation and collaboration returned once again for Brighton Digital Festival at the Corn Exchange offering the audience a chance to enter a world of projection. With curated projection based installations, a short film cinema, an area where people can turn up with a projector and new for this year digital workshops.

Workshops

Yoga in a digital forest

Come and relax in a light and sound installation from artist Thomas Buckley. He makes nature based installations using different projection methods and ambient sound recordings. Alex Murphy will be holding two yoga sessions in the digital forest room for a yoga experience like no other.

Make a shadow puppet

A one hour shadow puppet workshop with puppeteers 'Shadow Cabinet' will be a chance for families and curious animation beginners to create puppets together and then try them out on our screen. All materials supplied, suggested theme : newly discovered planet 'Proxima b'; plenty of scope for spaceships, aliens and fantastical scenery. The show will be recorded and premiered during the evening event.

Make your own collaged 16mm film

Create your own camera-less 16mm film by hand. Feed and loop through a projector to watch your film come to life. Using illustration, splicing, analogue and digital, this workshop is perfect for those with a passion for Vintage. Would suite any age above 12. No previous experience with film necessary. The final film will be screening during the evening event.
