rik lander

rik lander is currently devising u-soap, a new web drama format funded by BoreMe.com, Fluffy Logic and South West Screen. This winter he is teaching a course in web drama at Bristol University. He has just completed several interactive drama projects for Illumina Digital. This follows the launch in January 2007 of Wannabes, an interactive soap for the BBC. He recently co-authored, with Rob Andrews of Illumina Digital, the successful submission for the BBC Jam 11-14 website for the subject of Citizenship, Me in the Mix. His first web drama, magic-tree (1999), is still online.

He has been a director since the mid-80's when he was half of the influential video art partnership, the Duvet Brothers. He directed the pop video for No.1 hit, Pump up the Volume. For tv he has directed programmes about art, like the Channel 4 coverage of the Turner Prize from 2000 to 2004, as well as low-brow content for series like Eurotrash.

He continues to make artworks using video, installation and performance often through the rePUBLICof performance group in Bristol, who appeared at the Hay Fringe Festival in May 2007.
