Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson: At 25 Meters: At 25 Metres (FACT)
No full textFACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) presents "At 25 Metres", a stunning series of major new video works by UK artists Nick Crowe & Ian Rawlinson looking at the complexities of faith in contemporary society. Featuring FACT commissions: "The Fireworks", "The Name of God" and "Two Leprechauns", and "The Carriers Prayer", commissioned by Film & Video Umbrella, the exhibition and book continue their interest in the symbolic and transformative potential of fire. Crowe and Rawlinson examine cultural conventions, tensions and misunderstandings, and set against the contemporary climate of international conflict these challenging yet subtle works are particularly pertinent and timely. "Nick Crowe & Ian Rawlinson: At 25 Meters" is a vibrant and intriguing book provides a stunning display of their work, including the unrestrained chaos, noise and colour of a fireworks display set off inside a gallery space; plastic shopping bags torn open and tied together to form scally fireworks igniting and whooping up to the heavens in a run-down chapel, and the artists dressed as stereotypical leprechauns exchanging a series of Hebrew and Arabic greetings in cod Oirish accents. Also included is a new essay by Dr Rob Stone (Senior Research Fellow, Middlesex University) providing critical reflection on the themes explored.

Community-based early intervention for children with behavioural, emotional and social problems: evaluation of the Scallywags Scheme
No full textScallywags is a community-based, early intervention programme for young children (aged 3-7) with behavioural, emotional and social problems, which integrates work in the home and school with a parenting curriculum and direct work with children. A pre-post intervention study across multi-sites of 340 participants is reported. Using standardised measures, the study found statistically significant reductions in problems at home and school experienced by children who completed the programme, and in parental stress levels. Participation was found to be high and the project acceptable to parents, many of whom would be described as hard to reach. The rigorous evaluation of this real-life service and its positive outcomes highlight the potential of such programmes to tackle the needs of these children and families, and help prevent longer-term problems associated with early onset behavioural problems, including social exclusion, antisocial behaviour and educational failur
Ian Bogost at X-Media Lab: serious gaming
No full textVideo games are usually viewed as a form of escapism: pure entertainment and shoot-em-up fantasy. But increasingly, games are being recognised as educational tools, or as deliverers of social or political messages. This evolving medium is taking on complex environments and issues, and providing a platform for people to explore a world or situation in an interactive way. In this talk at the X Media Lab in Sydney, video game theorist and designer Ian Bogost gives an overview of how video games can benefit human existence.
Ian Bogost is author of "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", recently listed among "50 books for everyone in the game industry". He also wrote "Persuasive Games: The Expressive Power of Videogames", and was co-author of "Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System". He is widely considered an influential thinker and doer in the videogame industry and research community.
