hac…
…an evening concert of contemporary audio-visual computer performances. Part of the PULSE Fringe Festival 2008.
hac brings together local, national and international artists working in the intersection of technology, science and the arts. The concert features performances which utilise wearable computing, live coding, hacking, DIY electronics, and digital performance. The performances are multi-disciplinary and innovative, searching for new ways of engaging the audience and artist through computer code, wearable technologies and homemade devices.
Through the course of the evening new computer programs will be written live in front of your eyes, codes shift and morph, sounds and visuals emerge and explode: human movements make 3D worlds shift and stutter: hacked programs shriek and spew out their internal circuits. The performances will span from sonic soundscapes, experimental noise and feedback loops to electronica and techno.
Also there will be some installations in the bar by Phil Archer, Luke Jordan, and The Curiosity Collectives’ Tom Juby and David Chatting. Expect plants to play you music, objects to inflate and deflate, and computer screens to pulsate.
This event is also a networking opportunity for artists, programmers, scientists and anyone interested in the cross disciplinary possibilities and development of computational arts.
Venue: The Chambers, Ipswich Town Hall, Suffolk.
Date: Thursday 12th June 2008
Cost: £5/£4 conc.
Time: 7pm - 12 midnight.

It’s that time again - your favourite bi-monthly audio/visual even returns! Starting around 7:30pm and lasting until 11:30pm, on 5 June 2008 Spencer Mash (SS_R) & PixelPusher present a night of soundscapes, experimental music, and visuals as part of the ever-popular, on-going Immersion series at The Flea-Pit, London E2. [schedule]
Immersion is a free-entry experimental music/sound-art event featuring a soundtrack of electronic atmospheres, noisescapes, pulses/rhythms and tones/drones.
Immersion is an arena for new and established artists performing live experimental electronic music; using laptops, synthesizers, field recordings, circuit-bent electronics and prepared/processed/custom-made instruments.
Immersion promotes the whole notion of DIY/independently generated music - free of commercial constraints, or constrictions of catagorisation.
All sounds are partnered by stimulating projected visuals processed live and tailored for each performance.
The Flea-Pit is a unique cafe-bar/arts venue with comfortable retro furniture - and a gallery/performance area, in the heart of east/central London’s vibrant art scene and is located only five minutes away from Shoreditch High Street. Nearest tube: Old Street (exit 2).
