The Event

The Butcher's Disco of Manipulation

On 30th March 2007 the Victoria and Albert Museum in London hosted 'Friday Late', a collection of interactive animation and audio exhibitions and workshops put together by Nexus Productions Ltd.

The Butcher's Disco was an interactive display in the V&A's Tunnel which incorporated a PC projection, sound system and discos lights.

Volunteers lined up to have their digital images captured. The image was mapped onto a virtual reality 3D puppet and manipulated by a surreal butcher character, in the 'Butchers Disco of Manipulation'.

Please see below for the flyer, movie link and photos from the event, screen shots of what was projected, and the program download for pc.
