Pod Bluman of PSL Music, who has been actively involved in guerilla projection for the last few years, supervised the technical aspects of the event, which involved projection of Hexstatic imagery onto the arc-shaped water screen. The screen used water pumped from the Thames itself to provide a screen for the projection, creating eerie and atmospheric visuals floating above the dark river.
Stuart Warren-Hill and Robin Brunson, aka Hexstatic, who have made an international name for themselves as AV performers, delivered an hour-long set at the impromptu riverbank theatre, located close to the London Eye. The show featured freshly commissioned material and existing material specially adapted to integrate into the environment.
Video and sound was played from Pioneer DVJ DVD scratch turntables, which Hexstatic has been closely involved in developing. Projection was from two of PSL's Barco R12 projectors, and sound was delivered by a Martin Audio W8 line array system, provided by PSL sub-contractor Capital Sound.
