Josh Randall, a 23 year old freelance filmmaker from Somerset is this week exhibiting an extraordinary new invention at the Bridgwater Engine Room.
Josh’s free exhibition will be open for anyone and everyone to walk in and become a guinea pig for his invention – described as “a stereophonic headset using binaural audio with 3D HD cameras and LCD goggles allowing capture and display in one!”
Essentially, this will be a point of view camera to allow you to see through someone else’s eyes!
The exhibition will take place at the Engine Room media centre in Bridgwater, over REVISED START DATE OF TUESDAY 6th, Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th of December. The hours will be 10am till 4pm, admission free.
Josh explains, “I have grown up with a fascination for storytelling, from conversation, books, comics, films, radio. It’s the way we relate to each other and share our experiences.”
“Films like ‘Being John Malkovich’ and ‘Enter the Void’ inspired me where we go inside a characters head. I hope that this prototype will be a new way of relating to different perspectives and I am looking forward to testing out people’s reactions to it”
Josh’s show has been made possible through a Reveal Innovation Award. This is an annual bursary for a visual artist to develop new digital work curated by the Reveal partners – Brewhouse Visual Arts, Somerset Art Works and Somerset Film – with support from Arts Council England.
