'codec' - type of compression/decompression software for storage and transmission of audio-visual data - the manipulation of information, time, sound and space
'codex' - a pre-printing-era manuscript, a digest or collection of items or laws - the compilation, formatting, and reproduction of texts or narratives Codec/x features specially commissioned and recent work by 30 artists and
musicians, based in north west UK. It has been curated independently by artists Dave Griffiths and Nick Jordan, and aims to promote collaboration and experimentation in sound and visual art.
The curators have selected work that is diverse, with challenging and often humorous themes embedded to materials and processes - including animation, performance, text, noise, found objects, tape, and abstraction. The DVD
unpacks a playful list of new proposals and encourages discourse about technology, materials, and conventions in contemporary practice. The artists explore tensions between perfection & instability; the minutiae of spaces
and moments; the inscription and abandonment of laws; creation of light and time; complexity of language and meaning, and the architecture in
'intelligent' machines.
