Adrian Shephard is a performer,
composer and digital artist seeking answers to hidden truths
through intuitive approaches. He practices Vipassana (a meditational
tool to change the habit patterns of the mind by observing sensations
on the skin) and Psychometry (the understanding that all objects
hold energies of living beings). He has studied programming,
digital arts, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Shaolin Kung Fu, Chi Gong,
Seiki, Feldenkrais, Astrology and Tarot. He co-founded Brighton
Cinematheque, which has established itself over the past three
years as a leading South Coast venue for non-mainstream cinema
and visiting artists.
Testcard: Five years ago he formed a co-operative venture with a floating
membership, aiming to disturb people into personal change
or self-reflection through a series of performances based
on a ‘new sound and vision’ manifesto. The projects
operate through Testcard, a battle into the unconscious in
which any footing is quickly lost to an illusionary and devious
mind. Testcard is the symbolic end to programmed schedules,
the fear of losing structure, the fear of habitual behaviour
patterns. It operates under the premise that there can be
very little conscious awareness of a structure to ones action,
but unconsciously one is subject to a loosely-determined destiny:
future, present and past existing as one, accessed intuitively
through divinatory methods...
