Video Workshop: entropyTV
entropyTV stands for a 'television network to reduce the hegemony of broadcast channels and film industries’. It is a video-blog publishing short videos and acting as an online archive committed to the preservation of the diversity of identities. The workshop will focus on creating short video narratives, shot in a single take. The whole process is also an act focusing on the economics of video narration. Because shooting single takes requires knowledge, creative vision and organizational precision. The videos, shot from the moment of turning the camera on, to the moment of turning the camera off, with no interruption and no editing, will be published online on the video-blog of entropyTV.

Punk; A directory of modern subversive culture - Summer 2007
love hate sculture - Barry J Davis 
moenipulation - mask1
The Book:
To complement the event but also standing by itself as a comprehensive guide to modern punk culture we are publishing a book outlining our credo. Comprising of essays, illustrations and art work the volume will seek to define a generation. Available worldwide through specialist stores and online at http://www.hollowgallery.com/ the book will be released in early July 2007.
Synopsis:
When people mention the word punk to you, it is likely that the first thing to come to mind is either a leather clad rocker with a mohawk or the Sex Pistols singing "God save the Queen" in the middle of the river Thames. However, all of this was over 30 years ago. Punk is still a vibrant and youthful social ideal as relevant today as it always has been. Punk or at least, the influence of punk still exists as strongly as it ever did and is still as much about progression and subversion as it ever was. The music has changed, the style has moved on and the aesthetic has progressed but there still exists a small group of outsiders that retain the energy of the original punk movement. It is our intention to define what modern punk is and who are some of the main protagonists of this vibrant scene.
Punk is no longer a uniformed movement centred around one type of music or style. Aesthetically speaking, the influences of punk are many and varied. There are often signifiers such as a DIY or outsider cultural stand point but the definition of punk in today's society is open to much interpretation. It is the paradoxes that exist within the modern punk movement which makes it such an interesting subject matter for a contemporary art event.
