A Short film about War is a narrative documentary artwork made entirely from information found on the worldwide web. In ten minutes this two screen gallery installation takes viewers around the world to a variety of war zones as seen through the collective eyes of the online photo sharing community Flickr, and as witnessed by a variety of existing military and civilian bloggers.

An artist living in London working with Alison Craighead. We make things for galleries, online and sometimes outdoors. Lots of our recent work looks at live networks like the web and how they are changing the way we all understand the world around us. We believe that live information (live data) can be used as a material for making art works.
