This is an act of digital desperation but we’re sending around a project in the hopes it might be of interest to you and your readers. We are MIDASpaces (Mapped, Interactive, Digitally, Augmented Spaces) – a Dublin based group of programmers, designers and musicians working with digital technology for performance.
We’ve just been programmed for the ABSOLUT Fringe (rejoice!) but sadly the Arts Council haven’t looked upon us with any love and we’re in desperate need of attention and funding with our Fundit campaign.
We’ve made a prototype of the type of work we plan for Fringe (above). It was part of our Masters thesis. The costs of running shows like this are pretty high – usually relating to equipment and obviously projectors. Please take a look and see what you think. We’re really trying to create something new and unique for Dublin. A more accessible form of performance that is not just for dance fans and theatre goers but for hackers and music fans.

MIDASpaces presents Codes (Fundit)

Unmuzzled, off-the-leash pit bull terriers and other dangerous dogs are roaming freely in some housing estates and on streets causing huge distress to residents and pedestrians who feel very intimidated by the presence of these lethal animals. And, the council has been very pro-active in trying to deal with the problems, but are finding it difficult to get a handle on it despite having already “lifted” a number of animals and demanded dog licences for others
