About the  programmes:

Captain Midnight (23-29 February) deals with appropriation, remixing and the hi-jacking of third party content, examining the ownership and formation of popular culture online.
Extra Vision (1-7 March) presents works which play with how our eyes perceive movement and colour on screen.
Worldbuilding (8-14 March) looks at the process of constructing imaginary worlds through the use of augmented realities and video game universes.
Dreamsaver (15-21 March) is a journey through phantasmic representations of spiritual states of mind mediated through technology.
