The Duellists

MediaShed ft David Valentine and Methods of Movement

The Duellists is now available to view online. One of the new artworks commissioned by

Futuresonic in 2007, it has been shown 18 times at international events, and identified by

New York Times as the highlight of Eyebeam's Source Code exhibition.

The Duellists was one of 3 major new commissions in Futuresonic's Art For Shopping Centres

exhibition, also featuring Harwood and Katherine Moriwaki, which was developed over an 18

month period and featured linked activities across the UK.

MediaShed were invited to the Manchester Arndale Shopping Centre by Futuresonic to make a

film combining free-media with free-running. Parkour, or freerunning, involves fluid,

uninterrupted movement, adapting motion to obstacles in the environment. MediaShed

created the film overnight in the Arndale shopping centre, filmed using only the in-house

CCTV system, and it was then shown on the screens inside the shopping centre from 10-20

May 2007.
