Swiss Lounge Productions is, as the header suggests, a site for collaborationists.
The idea is that doing work produces more work and that working with others is a means to doing even more.
Swiss Lounge Productions will be supporting a variety of projects, each of which will be tracked on this site. Ideally we’re going to be a low/no-budget outfit but we’re open to suggestion. Initially projects will be instigated by us but, hopefully as time moves on, we’ll be active in a more supportive role, hoping that past contributors and other interested parties will be suggesting future projects to us. We hope that these will buld and and challenge what we’ve done before. We recognise the fundamental nature of production in these efforts and would very much encourage designers, layout artists computer types etc to become involved and become as creative as possible within the platform we’re using.
The Deal. Whether you’re the artist, the instigator, the collaborator or the person who holds the umbrella over the camera, then you get credited for it. However, participation in one of the projects entails consent that your work, your presence may be used in some other Swiss Lounge project. One idea feeds on another and so on.
Having said that if for any reason you want to remain anonymous then we’ll assign you an identifier and credit you under that.
Initially it may appear that the site is biased towards the written word or the static visual image. We do assert the primacy of the page. We like painting. But we also want to see moving image, sound, animation, music, new and hybrid forms of things we haven’t even thought of. If you have an idea that you think will fly here please get in touch.
This site is in English. Does that mean it’s only for the UK? No, it is not. Nor does it mean that the work we do has to be in English (but be warned, our language skills are very limited!). Swiss Lounge Productions is about people and you are international and without boundaries.
At Swiss Lounge we’ve had a great time on collaborations in the past. It keeps as sharp as artists, writers, or whatever it is that particular day but mainly as human beings. We hope you will too.
