On April 11 2007 SHOWstudio staged a live ‘happening’ in association with PlayStation 3, viewed by an on-site audience of fifty SHOWstudio viewers at a secret location and a global audience via webcast.
The SHOWstudio Revue created a dynamic performance space in which six different ‘zones’ were defined by dramatic or musical action. The project also drew a live audience into the complicity of the director/performer relationship by asking each member to record the event on camera. Excerpts of the footage were screened live using PlayStation 3s throughout the night and were included in the editing of an exclusive film unveiled by the SHOWstudio team later that month.

Over three days, 7, 8 & 11 December 2006 twelve friends of SHOWstudio came down to the live space to create one of 12 Days of Christmas videos, each decorating a Nick Knight silhouette of Gemma Ward with Swarovski crystal. In addition to webcasting the live event, each contribution was filmed from above and the footage was edited into a special film that was offered on SHOWstudio on each of the twelve days of Christmas (26 December – 6 January). Starting 7 December, set up day, viewers watched inspired hands at work to get a sneak preview of the final result.

In November 2005, SHOWstudio offered its international audience the unique opportunity to have their own photographic work featured in a Nick Knight photo shoot with Antony Hegarty, lead singer of Mecury Music prize winning group Antony and the Johnsons. As part of the concept for the portrait shoot on 1st December 2005, Nick Knight used a selection of photographic imagery, submitted by SHOWstudio viewers, to inspire an experimental musical performance. The visuals were projected onto Antony, resulting in a beautiful photographic spread that appeared in the February edition of i-D magazine. Incorporating a gallery with 500+ contributions from SHOWstudio viewers, documentation of the initial brief, shoot and the published story in i-D magazine, the project’s spectacular finalé piece took the form of an atmospheric film –featuring Antony and a myriad of inspirational imagery courtesy of SHOWstudio’ viewers- created by Nick Knight and edited by Sam Blair.
