"Memories" (2005) by D-Fuse, Scanner, Shelley Fox
A project conceived as a three-way collaboration, and originally designed as a live fashion show with visual and musical elements. D-Fuse created a graphic complement to Scanner’s atmospheric music, using images taken from old family albums, notebooks and sketches, playing on ideas of memory and association.
D-Fuse are a London-based artist collective who work across a range of media. Founded in the mid-1990s by Michael Faulkner, D-Fuse’s output encompasses installations, film, experimental documentary, photography, live cinema performances and architectural projects. Beginning in graphic and web design and VJing, D-Fuse’s work has evolved to address social and environmental themes and explore collaborative processes. Besides work with groundbreaking musicians from a wide range of genres including Steve Reich, Beck, Hauschka, Scanner and Swayzak, much of D-Fuse’s output since 2004 includes sound and music by audio director Matthias Kispert. Their work has been shown internationally, including Sonar [Barcelona], onedotzero Festivals, Eyebeam and TriBeCa Film Festival [NYC], SFMOMA, WRO Festival [Wroclaw], Prix Ars Electronica [Linz], MU and STRP Festival [Eindhoven], Lisbon and Valencia Bienniale, Moscow Architectural Biennale, and many others. The D-Fuse-edited book VJ: Audiovisual Art and VJ Culture was published by Laurence King in 2007.
