In 2002 internationally established installation artists, Artstation and Welsh filmmaker, Wyn Mason, collaborated on an artist placement within a Brussels asylum seeker reception centre, Le Petit Chateau. The resulting Paperwork exhibition at The Old Library, Cardiff, included a looped, twin-screen video projection. Collaborating with Artstation, whose art practice is heavily influenced by cybernetics, led Wyn to adopt a radically different filmmaking approach to that of traditional film and TV practices. The result is a hybridised film that is drama and documentary, cinema and art video, and a film that was designed to address the high level cultural-political arena of Cardiff's bid to become European Capital of Culture 2008. Now re-edited as a linear piece, Paperwork is being represented as a 10-minute short work for film festival audiences. The article tracks the production process, showing how cybernetic method impacted on conventional film and TV practices
