BLUE – Derek Jarman

The Glyph Media Group and Basilisk Communications Ltd. present a multimedia project based on the Derek Jarman film BLUE. This CD-ROM is the latest addition to the BLUE repertoire which in the past has included live concerts in Europe and Asia, gallery exhibitions, and radio and television broadcasts in four languages.

The BLUE CD-ROM will contain some of Jarman’s previously unseen Super 8 films that can be viewed, “sampled” and edited. Sound mixes created in the “audio recording studio” can then be applied to these newly created films. Notes on the history and evolution of BLUE, previously unreleased material from the live concerts, and video interviews with principal participants, contextualize the complete annotated script. The program contains general information on AIDS and safer sex, and is concluded by “The Void” segment, inviting participants to further their own explorations in BLUE.

The BLUE CD-ROM fuses BLUE’s various incarnations (sounds, images, text) with the interactive possibilities of the medium, producing an entirely new and exciting BLUE experience.
