Tethervision

Live in the Caretakers House at Primary - 8PM 44 Douglas Road, Nottingham, NG7 1NW Book online at http://wake.eventbrite.com/ Broadcast live online at youtube.com/tethervision - 9PM ******************************* Four years ago, the world was startled by the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, arguably the most impressive visual spectacle of modern times. But amidst the rockets fired to create the perfect weather, the digitally composited footstep fireworks and that ugly child with the perfect voice being hidden away in a broom cupboard, there emerged an element of deception that only became apparent because of mankind's fondness for suspicion. On 24 April 1558, Mary, Queen of Scots married François, the Dauphin of France. On 24 April 1704, the first newspaper in the United States, the 'News-Letter', was published in Boston, Massachusetts. On 24 April 1967, Vladimir Komarov became the first human fatality during a space mission in the Soviet spacecraft Soyuz 1. On 24 April 2012, Tethervision will launch Caretakers House, their latest series live at Primary in Nottingham and also streamed live online. Wake - the first programme in the series features a performance of 'A Struggle Told 5 Ways' by London-based artist Dave Charlesworth. With the analogue to digital switchover, the kindle and the iPad, we are entering the final stages of the inevitable transition to a new, non physical materialism. Wake will mourn this slow passing of the analogue and look to the coming years to be spent with it's new, energised replacement. http://tether.org.uk/tv/archives/575
