In February 2010, the Red Bull Music Academy prompted Warp Records and Ninja Tune for a Soundclash on
a 3D sound system, staged in the Loading Bay of the Royal Albert Hall. FIELD developed a
generative real-time application especially for this event, which motion
designers Quayola and Thomas Traum used to
design and perform soundreactive visuals for the sets of Plaid, Clark,
Mira Calix and many more.

A modern day homage to Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, “Pour Me a Drink” is a short film showcasing fashion created for Toronto-based Filler Magazine.
Launched in 2009, Filler Magazine is an online magazine featuring fashion, art, culture and film. “We wanted to give artists a platform to showcase their work,” says Ryan Johnson, Creative Director Filler Magazine. “The videos on our site are a form of editorial content and ‘Pour Me a Drink’ is a collaboration between fashion and film showcasing three looks for both men and women. We went for a dark and moody love story so the clothes would pop.” Continues Johnson.
“These two models are 2010 versions of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton,” adds director Jessica Edwards. “I wanted to create a subtle narrative where the models are living mannequins and fashion is featured within the story but is not the entire story.”
