We got to see some new stuff from the folks at Addictive TV last night.

Playing for the Raindance Short Film Award party, Addictive (who we have raved about before) performed their Laurel and Hardy (remixed as the original Ska act — you know it makes sense) and Sex Pistols mashups as well as some of their ‘greatest hits’ — the Italian Boj and Quentin Tarantino vs. Queen. A foray into the commercial world — the remixed trailer for Antonio Banderas’s ballroom dancing film Take The Lead – was also shown.

Visuals really do speak louder than words so check out their site, Samurai.fm and some ‘looks like it was shot on a phone’ footage on youtube.

THINGS TO SEE & DO TODAY

Psycho Buildings
- "Specially commissioned work transforming The Hayward into a 'psycho building'" Good stuff.

From Atoms to Patterns
- "This exhibition explores the intriguing creations of the Festival Pattern Group - a unique project at the 1951 Festival of Britain involving X-ray crystallographers, designers and manufacturers. At the instigation of Dr Helen Megaw, a leading Cambridge scientist, diagrams of atomic structures inspired an eclectic array of patterns on curtains, wallpapers, carpets, lace, dress fabrics, ties, plates and ashtrays."

The House of Viktor and Rolf
- "...lives up to its name. The exhibition is dominated by a gigantic doll house, a graceful structure with Palladian proportions where miniature versions of 15 years of fashion fill the series of rooms on three levels."

Tim Walker - Pictures
- "London based photographer Tim Walker has established himself at the cutting edge of fashion photography. His images capture a sublime moment in time, evoking a sense of epic drama and beauty. Stunning sets and lavish locations juxtapose the everyday with the absurd and the fabulous, to create captivating, original photographs. Tim’s evocative images are full of textured nuance and intriguing detail. His innovative photography is amongst the most imaginative and exuberant being produced today."

Dickie Beau Presents
- "Dickie Beau's artistic open clique presents an evening of cabaret inspired by The Wizard of Oz. Inhabiting a distorted version of Dorothy on a metatextual journey beyond Oz, Dickie, together with his travelling companions, discovers that when you dream in colour, not everything is black and white. With a bespoke soundtrack arranged by music supervisor and DJ Helen Noir, Wicked Witch of the East London club night, Film Noir, expect an evening of original performance from an eclectic collection of artists, including Bistrotheque's Lisa Lee; spellbinding dance practitioner, Nando Messias; Geisha School dropout, Ingenue St John; and the obliquely unique Amanda Pet."
