FIELD 27:  BLAST THEORY - DESERT RAIN
-----------------------------------------------------------

An evening of contemporary digital art, discussion and debate.

    Wednesday 2 May 2001 8pm
    Sussex Arts Club, 7 Ship Street, Brighton
    Free entrance

In a world where war images echo Hollywood images, Desert Rain looked 
for the line between real and fictional, using a combination of 
virtual reality, installation and performance.  Six team members are 
sent on an adventure into a virtual world. They have 30 minutes to 
find the target and complete their mission, finding that others may 
have a very different idea of what actually happened out there. . .

This unique gaming project confronts the media saturated world in 
which popular culture rules.   Desert Rain was a collaboration 
between the Computer Research Group at Nottingham University and 
Blast Theory, a London based group of four artists who create live 
events for theatres, clubs, galleries and the street.  Matt Adams 
from Blast Theory will present work from Desert Rain at FIELD 27. 

"It's a powerful piece and it excites curious emotions in the viewers 
who are able to take part in the game. As a company, Blast Theory, 
seems finally to offer Britain a theatre group that delves into our 
popular culture to create deeply challenging work."
