Ghosts in the Machine.

Ghosts in the Machine
a 3D film installation by Billy Cowie commissioned by Lighthouse, Brighton. Billy Cowie’s new 3-D dance installation, Ghosts in the Machine, is shown for the first time in the Lighthouse Gallery during May 09. It combines highly specialised techniques of stereoscopic filmmaking with inventive dance choreography to create an immersive and unique 3-D experience.
As you stand in front of a white wall, wearing blue and red 3-D glasses, three cheeky young women emerge, solid as life, coming at you.
Jennifer Potter, Rachel Blackman and Victoria Melody dance, sing and joke their way through the twenty-five minute piece. Their topics of discussion range from existentialism to ballpark sex to media studies (though none of them is quite sure which cowboy film Marshall McLuhan was actually in). Hanging over them is the dread knowledge that at the end of the performance they have to do ‘the whole friggin thing all over again’ but somehow it turns out to be more fun than they thought.The music is three songs from the Eatingest CD by Billy Cowie and Jennifer Potter `(Love is Like a Car, Ariel and Caliban, Swing Low Sweet Cheerioh) and Schubert's Litanei sung by Lucie and Cathryn Robson.
