"Marking the 120th anniversary of the first medical X-Ray performed in Birmingham by radiology pioneer Major John Hall-Edwards, Hippodrome CREATIVE commissioned an innovative new digital dance film and sonic soundscape to commemorate this scientific breakthrough.

As part of World Radiography Day, the short film was launched on our social media channels and the digital screens in our foyers, and in partner venues Birmingham City University and Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Award-winning contemporary dance and Hip-Hop performer/choreographer Mickael ‘Marso’ Riviere created a new solo dance work in response to sound artist Justin Wiggan’s sonic soundscape collated from ‘hidden’ body sounds and X-Ray equipment. British Institute of Radiology artist in residence Hugh Turvey, directed and produced a stop animation digital film that fused together the performance with X-ray imagery.

The three artists also delivered a series of workshops and talks in Birmingham City University, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Birmingham Hippodrome."

iOS App Launched - X is for X-ray

24/1/2012

"This odyssey all started when I invited Hugh to be a part of my parlor game potluck league that I was
starting and that ultimately went nowhere.

Hugh emailed me back thinking I had I spammed him. We kind of got caught up since we had first
worked together on an art science exhibit for the Franklin institute in 2005.

I had seen an AMAZING book called Marion Batallie, published by Roaring Brook Press. It is a pop up
book where every letter has a different pop-up mechanism.

Later the same week I had a idea in while I was showering for a. Beautiful A-Z book of Hugh's x-ray
photography called X is for X-Ray. I figured he had A large enough archive of images that he could just
whip the thing together.

So I emailed my idea to Hugh and he was excited to give it a try and asked me to help. We started
working on a print book. Eventually Hugh would create about thirteen new images for our print book.
My wife Maren was writing the text. We showed the book to several publishers and the feedback was
very inconsistent, some didn't like the rhymes while others didn't like the images.

After several rounds of conflicting feedback I sent the book to my friend and great writer Paul Rosenthal.
Paul not only had great feedback but provided some wonderful example rhymes. Hugh, Maren and
myself decide that Paul was the guy to write the text if he was interested. Luckily he was interested and
did a great job of creating a wonderful series of rhymes that go perfectly with Hugh's images.

After about a year of chasing publishers the iPad came out. I realized that this book really needed to an
ebook. I had seen samples of The Elements by Theo Grey and I thought our book needed similar
production values. So in my initial search for an E publisher I looked up The Elements and discovered
that Theo and his good friend Max had started a new company called TouchPress. I sent them an email
about our book. Literally about 45 minutes later I received an email back from them expressing interest
in our book. Two weeks after that we had a verbal agreement to do an ebook together. A year and a
half later X is for X-ray hit the iTunes store." Mike Levad Co-author
