| THE LIGHT SURGEONS ont été invités par le British Council pour participer au "Festival International des Arts Vidéo de Casablanca". Un atelier a été organisé le 18 mars 2004 ainsi qu'un concert le 19 mars 2004 à la Fédération des oeuvres laïques FOL. |
 The Light Surgeons are a collective of creative artists who work across a range of different media from photography and graphic design to digital video, 16mm film and audio. They are best known for their projected visual displays and installations for record labels. They have toured internationally with live music acts such as the Propellerheads, Cornershop, DJ Food and Unkle. The Light Surgeons was established by Chris Allen and his original partner Andy Flywheel in 1995, together with various other collaborators they pioneered VJ culture in the UK throughout the Nineties. |
 The recent developments in desktop video, non-linear digital editing and lo-budget independent film making have allowed the Surgeons to apply their years of experimenting with lo-fi equipment and an ethos of image making and design through limitations to this newly accessible digital medium, thus extending the scope of their work into new areas of creative production and presentation. |
 Their experiments in multi media have led to the production of promo videos, short films, motion graphics, titles for broadcast and installation design. They have also gone on to exhibit and perform their own audio visual material and short film work at new media and film festivals internationally. In these celebrated live audio visual performances the Surgeons explore the synergy of sound and image through a process of narrative and storytelling. |
 Fusing together digital video with stills photography, music and spoken word, they create their own form of exploded documentary that unites dance culture with film and theatre. They have developed and refined a wholly original live performance which entertains, inspires and provokes its audiences into thinking about our social and political environment. |
