The Blind Date project is about five confrontations of five pairs of artists. During a short period prior to the World Wide Video Festival they react to each other's work and thinking. This will result in five combined presentations.
Carol Murphy studied fine art at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England. She returned to Belfast for two years before moving to Amsterdam in September 1996 to attend De Ateliers '63. She now lives in London. Making videos is a complicit part of her working and living process. She writes, directs, performs and edits videos. She installs objects, video and sound based installations, reads, writes, produces photographically based public art and letter based installations. She is all singing and all dancing.
Her 'blind date' is Dutch artist Peter Stel.

A group of four conspired against it
Lyontine thought the secretary did it
Theo smiled
Mr Murphy thinks Carol is full of potential
