A still frame from Micth Stratten's OCP depicts three characters facing the wall.

OCP is a video artwork produced and directed by Mitch Stratten. The performance taking place inside an elaborate three tonne moving set allowed a puppeteer to synchronise the space with the unpredictable movement of the three characters contained.[1]

Engineering, construction and testing took place in a North London warehouse over three months preceding the film shoot completed in two days.[2] The score was composed by Mitch Stratten (also known as Nodern) and mastered by Denis Blackham in the Isle of Skye.[3] The ambitious project had a modest budget of GBP 24,000 based on its IMDb entry.[4]

A prosthetic headpiece supported the performers to walk like a spider.

OCP was first released on the Sedition distribution platform curated online.[5] The reception to OCP was positive and polarised with critical reviews from “an imaginative feat”[6] to “beyond words”[7] and “genius”.[3] OCP has further been included amongst institutional art programmes internationally. [8][9][10][11] The work integrates ideas on language and folklore.[12][13] OCP is the abbreviation for orifice conditioning plate, a piece of equipment used in the mining industry that turns the asymmetrical flow of liquid in pipes symmetrical to monitor performance.
