Chris Keenan (Prime Objective) produced the video and talks about it on the Prime Objective blog.  You can see the video itself as the first part of a slideshow on the Ikon Gallery site.

Like I say, it’s good to see this sort of thing but personally I’d like to see a little more (demanding sod that I am).  In case anyone from the gallery is reading, here’s a cheeky wishlist:

  • Videos to be uploaded somewhere like Vimeo or YouTube so they can be embedded on other sites (like this one).  It’s free and I guarantee you’d get more viewers.
  • A media section with all your audio/video in one place – I found searching for past items (like the ‘In Conversation’ recordings) far too tricky.
  • Actually is anything happening with the ‘These Are A Few Of My Favourtite Things’ audio?  I was at Ian Francis (7 Inch Cinema)’s talk and saw it being recorded.  Why not use these sorts of things to make a podcast that people could subscribe to?
