Mark Scarratt is a founder member of the VJammAllstars - conscious A/V pioneers with their party hats on - as well as a director of Brightonart. Editor, production manager, VJ, DJ, cameraman - he is one of those people who really blur the artist/technician boundary to great effect, as happy in the studio or on the road, in creative roles or pulling a team together to achieve a technically demanding production in insufficient time! As part of Headspace, Mark co-conceived and developed GRIDIO with Coldcut, and has toured extensively throughout Europe, the Balkans and beyond with the VJammAllstars.
He still finds time to co-run the Groovy Movie - the worlds first Solar Powered Cinema - at festivals through the summer, as well as stage manage with Innerfield and take on production roles at the Rocket Festival and London Fashion week's On|Off event.
