about Dubassy (aka Dan Talson) (UK): I am video artist and VJ, creating and performing with moving pixels.

career highlights: The chance to be able to use my work to travel to new places is a lucky one, and highlights include, playing in Delhi, Ukraine and Miami, and at various festivals and clubs.

which creative people, places and things on your radar right now?

people: There are some people in the VJ  / visuals world now doing great things. It's a constantly changing and growing scene - from bedroom VJs just starting out providing a very basic setup at their local club, to world famous crews for instance insideusall, providing spectacular installations at major clubs, music festivals and events. Also some fantastic people out there creating motion content, like amoeba, his melting mix of clean sharp graphics overlayed with more grungy textures really inspires me.

things: My friends over in Austria have created a project called tagtool - a great live drawing tool, which they use for outdoor projections, nighttime guerrilla style attacking of buildings, club events, and with groups of kids.

what’s your favourite daydream? I probably daydream far too much. But that is where all my best ideas come from. The colours and hues are stronger than the real world, the images sharper, and more film-like - beautiful soft and heavy bass injected drum beats are the soundtrack, as I wander round the imaginary universe of my head....flying through crazy urban future landscapes or paradise beaches, where the brilliant orange sun-setting sun, drips and dissolves into the horizon.....

what was the last rule you broke? It was probably breaking the British love of queuing rule.....at Kiev airport in the Ukraine recently, rushing through to catch a connection, the tourist queue was long slow and barely moving, so I moved into the Ukrainians-only queue, ready to suffer the wrath of the passport control. Luckily a smile smoothed my way through....

if you could ask a question of someone you respect, who and what would you ask?

Papa Smurf: "How did the Smurf society grow to how it is by having just one Smurfette?"  I remember Sunday afternoons, growing up with fishfingers and chips and The Smurfs on the television, but that always confused me!
