Radiator Launch
Broadway Café Bar
Thu 1 Dec 6pm – 1am
The official opening of Radiator Festival 2005 kicks off the weekend early and delivers a total evening's worth of events and entertainment. Beginning with an early Trampoline screening of local and international video talent, the evening rushes headlong into a big screen presentation of Alistair Gentry's live performed flight through space in Nowhere Plains at the Castle.
Shuttle buses will be on hand throughout the evening to bring you closer to the Radiator commissions that are taking place throughout the City, yet they won't leave you stranded because the night continues throughout Broadway until the small hours of the morning bringing performances, screenings, live music and much more as Trampoline, the only platform for new media art in the region, gets under way.

As global cities become increasingly homogenous, is it possible for anyone to carve out a space of their own? Join the artists as they inhabit the uncharted depths of a swimming pool and reconstruct Nottingham underwater. Collecting and constructing objects at Angel Row Gallery (The LAB) to be distributed at the bottom of the pool at Surface Gallery, Rothenberg and Semenec invite participation, both live and online, in helping to create sub/merg/ency.

The LAB will be open during the day as a place for inventing items to be placed in the pool. A video stream of live underwater footage connects the two spaces. There will be timed performances starting at The LAB proceeding to the pool but both sites are open for viewing during opening hours. Bring your imagination and a camera phone, or log on to participate remotely.
Elyce Semenec is a performance, video and net-based media artist using sparse and exposed settings and simple technology to create works that are comic and highly interactive. Her work draws and comments on the nature of social interaction and the relationships between seeing and doing in public space. Stephanie Rothenberg is an interdisciplinary artist using performance, video, and net-based media to create interactive situations that question relationships between individuals and socially constructed identities, lifestyles and public spaces. She is Assistant Professor of Communication Design at the State University of Buffalo.

Txt Adventure

Text Adventures were as close to novels as computer games ever came. Although out of favour now, they were big news in the early days of computers. Games were played by entering simple sentences like 'go north' or 'take apple'. The results of your actions were shown on screen in a series of paragraphs.
This text adventure is played by text message – players text their commands to the number on screen. These are sent to a mobile phone connected to the computer running the projection. The computer then enters the commands into an emulated version of the game, and displays the game's output on a big shared screen. Supported by May You Fund (part of the May You Live In Interesting Times festival).

Moving image meets holiday making inside Bathysphere's Nanoplex, the region’s first mobile new media centre hidden inside a family caravan. Bathysphere, Leicester's leading new media and electronic music moguls, have converted the six berth family caravan into a state of the art micro sized cinema venue. A tiny venue for big ideas, the Nanoplex is designed to showcase ground breaking visuals and sounds at events and festivals around Europe.
The Nanoplex has been created as part of the Three Cities Create and Connect programme, an exciting initiative which celebrates the vibrant arts activities, festivals and cultural quarters of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham. The programme has been supported by Arts Council England and coordinated by ArtReach.
