Connection - PLD collective
Each minute of video is produced by a different artist. As inspiration They each have only received 5 seconds of the previous video to understand what the ‘connection’ is. Each artist has their own practice and understanding of what connection means to them, which they bring to every moment on the screen. Each work builds upon a connection between the previous artist and their own. Creating a visual contemporary chinese whispers (telephone). We have shown through different formats; gallery based, online and via social media, experimenting with these mediums for the most pertinent to our particular style of project. Here we have used WhatsApp in order to communicate.
This video is bad - it’s boring, it’s pretentious (the text at the beginning - it means nothing - the END is in French - why??? Pure pretentiousness...), the filters are badly used and there is no cohesion and has no meaning. Why would anybody waste nearly one minute of their life watching this video? I know I wouldn’t...
Bad Art Film Festival
‘PAPER’ A short experimental artists’ film
This short experimental artists’ film was made by six artists spread throughout the world who are involved in an ongoing daily online drawing project. Each artist was given a short part of the film to interpret the word ‘paper’, which is /can be a material fundamental to the process of drawing. With a diversity of ideas and interpretations of the word ‘paper’, the artists have constructed a short film that takes the viewer on an experimental journey through the uses of paper in the process of drawing. This first experimental film could be seen as just the beginning of a series of collaborative experimental films exploring drawing and creative processes.

Bad Art Film Festival
20 Questions
We were asked to take part in the Bad Art film Festival held in Moscow. Producing two brilliantly satirical films about art making and film
A project using Instagram. Asking questions and finding the results through #2mindraw. This test is simply to start exploring the borders of @q_plus_i as an entity that invokes learning through everyday practices.
Human lines of communication are usually discordant, which is why we are so impressed when we actually communicate with someone. Through the immutable pursuit of drawing @q_plus_i have captured the hearts and minds of an ‘Art’ elite, so rare, so pure of soul that they will only communicate through WhatsApp.

This collaborative video made by 11 artists. This is an update version, with acoustic accompaniment by Anthony Kräuter. The idea was for this collaborative video project to act like the parlour game, Chinese Whispers or Exquisite Corps. Each artist was given the last 5-seconds of the previous artist’s video as the starting point of their video, continuing and then transformed that into their own interpretation of the theme we had decided on - Cycle(s).
We were asked to join the graduate conference. where we performed our experimental drawing project. This interdisciplinary conference sought to create dialogue between scholars, artists, community members, and experts in all fields, bringing them together to share their expertise and unique perspectives.
