Cyclorama

Wait until it's dark then walk down the alleyway beside Vicar Street. See how many empty vodka bottles you can count but don't get too distracted. Keep your eyes keen for a door propped open that leads inside a large warehouse containing a screen that shows a continuous video of an even larger warehouse than the one you have walked into. You can walk behind the screen. I was surprised at how mute and secretive it felt there. Within the larger warehouse within a warehouse there is a wrap-around screen stored. The innermost warehouse is used to film scenes for films and the screen to create an illusion of infinity. The scenes are filmed there and transported to cinemas and homes around the world, onto laptops, potentially endlessly. The video doesn't show this though. It's just a space filled with harmonious parallels and tensions.


The Lynette Thing

A yearly pre-christmas event run by Amber Miles who has the honest intentions to let everyone who wants to come along have a drunken, jolly, green and black party. She says 'last year was really just a party. I'm very excited about this being more.' What do you mean by that, Amber? How much more? She means a whole new venue (one I've personally never been to) the three story big old Supafast building on Capel st. WNot satisfied? Throw in loads of DJs- Eberhart, Kevin Bacon, A.W.O.L.(live), James Mcloughlin, Ladies of the Night and more, loads of fun people, BYOB, some art that I imagine will act more as decoration and a colour theme. Do follow the colour scheme. Amber's a fun, fun girl but if you turn up wearing orange and pink you will be fined extra at the door. Strictly green, olive, lime, emerald, jade, moss, sage, mint, viridian... spinach... brussel sprout?
