Sculpture is electronic music producer Dan Hayhurst, and animator Reuben Sutherland – manipulating digital and analogue media into energetic sonic and visual amalgams, inspired by a continuum of exploratory practice in music and abstract film and video while following their own idiosyncratic visit – a DIY aesthetic encompassing pop, appropriative collage, cut & spliced techno, noise, early electronics, the avant garde and comic strips, mechanical and digital animation techniques, tape edits and computer programming, heard and head, past and future.
 
Dan Hayhurst plays digital media devices, reel to reel tape recorder, sampler, effectron and walkman. Reuben Sutherland plays vedio zoetrope record deck, "DJing" with psychophonotropic picture discs which animate when filmed, beaming looping fragments of surreal, luridly coloured imgery into eyeballs and brains at 25 frames per second – Victorian mechanical imaging technology combined with digital video.
