Sophie Clements
Sophie Clements
Sophie Clements’ work explores the use of video as a form of sculpture. She uses devices including sculptural installation and video projection to deconstruct and re-assemble time and materials to question the notion of physical reality in relation to time and memory. Taking inspiration from ideas in science and experimental music, Clements manipulates time to create highly constructed objects that grow from their surroundings, producing collages that rely on chance interactions and discourse between the concrete ‘real’ and the constructed ‘unreal’.

Technology Will Save Us
Technology Will Save Us
Technology Will Save Us is a haberdashery for technology and an alternative education space dedicated to helping people make and experiment creatively with technology, not just consume it.
Devices, gadgets and computers are a fundamental part of our everyday lives. Yet most people know so little about what these things are made of; let alone how to fix them or create new ways to use them. However, an exciting shift is emerging in society, a shift where people are finding new and inventive ways to re-skill. This business is part of that shift.

DJ Tomoki Tamura
DJ Tomoki Tamura
London-based DJ/Producer Tomoki moved to London in 2004 and has continued to rock the floor in top venues such as Fabric, Ministry of Sound, Plastic People and The END/AKA. His own party HOLIC has quickly become one of the most important events in London, and also has a permanent residency at Japan's top club, Womb. Simultaneously tough and soulful, dark and uplifting, his style retains more than enough depth and technique to satisfy the fussiest of house-heads without losing the sort of funk and groove that keeps the dance floor rammed and rocking.
