David Hopkinson is a prolific multi-disciplinary visual artist working with video, sound, photography, performance, radio, dj-ing and vj-ing. His practice is concerned with constructing time-based work via careful and witty editing of collated material from his immediate social and physical environment, combined with interventions into entertainment and music spaces.
For DRIVEN, a new video piece has been constructed from footage of four individuals performing on a drum kit set-up inside a small traffic island on a busy thoroughfare. Meticulous editing creates new rhythms that playfully incorporate elements from both the drummers and the drivers in their parallel positions of seated noisy power.
