| New Media Scotland receives regular funding from the Scottish Arts Council
| | | | | Upgrade! Scotland
Zoë Irvine and Mark Vernon
Tuesday 27th November 2007 at CCA
6.30pm for 7pm
Upgrade! Scotland is proud to present Mark Vernon and Zoë Irvine this November bringing with them their characteristic humour and delight in recorded sound of all kinds. 
Mark Vernon and Zoë Irvine work between art, music, radio and sound. They have been working prolifically at the forefront of their field using radio, tape and found audio material to create intimate links between their practices. The dislocation of the recorded voice and the ability to manipulate, or cut up, tape creates a precursor to the limitless possibilities of digital manipulation which both artists employ with great sensitivity. For more information about these artists please visit Upgrade! Scotland's website here
Tuesday 27th November - CCA, Glasgow
Join us for drinks from 6.30pm with the talk starting at 7pm. Expect the usual informative but informal Upgrade! atmosphere. Admission is free, but to make sure of a seat please email:
