1/1/2020 ARAIVR Systems CEO Emma Mendez has released exclusive never before seen
footage of punk icon Marianne 'Poly Styrene' Elliott-Said who led
the band X-Ray Spex.
Poly Styrene is the inspiration for the lead female character
in the AI focused in development computer game
called 'Codename: CALYPSO' and sci-fi feature film 'ATON RA'.
Software engineer, artist, patent filing inventor, musician, writer,
broadcaster, producer, public speaker, animator and director
Aston Walker worked with Marianne from 2001, after working as a systems analyst in the City of London and Europe. Aston designed the website for the MOBO awards in 1997 while working on a Superscape VR
intranet for Dixons Store Group with Oliver Saunders.
Aston was commissioned
by Poly to VJ at her 2008 Camden Roundhouse gig after he made
music videos for MTV and Trouble TV with House 'n' Garage pioneers DEA Project who
produced the hit underground Mariah Carey house 'n' garage remix.
ARAIVR Systems software and hardware engineers
and students from Birmingham City University have successfully
extracted and digitised the rare 2002 interview with Poly Styrene from a miniDV tape
where she talked about the punk movement, Ms. Dynamite and the So Solid crew.
