Preparing for Istanbul

Lee and Alexandra and I have all been preparing for Istanbul ISEA next week. I'm not going but have done short, weirdy film intros for both of the collaborative papers. This is a still from the intro Lee and I recorded today, this is the future of conferencing, or should be, saves on air-miles and travel anxieties.
