I’ll be playing a video short called Traffictimeblotcher:

Traffic Timeblotcher is an experimental art project exploring the rhythms and patterns of city life over time. Traffic is a little bit of an obsession in my family, where finding the shortest route from point A to point B in the greater metropolitan area is a competitive sport. So I was intrigued by the New York City’s MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) and DOT (Department of Transportation) webcams broadcasting live images of traffic conditions throughout New York City every day. I decided to explore other ways of experiencing this incredibly dense stream of imagery and data.

Immersion Wrap-up 7 Aug 2008

Thanks to all who packed in The Flea Pit to hear and see the last Immersion night.  Alias had his Immersion pixelist debut during Dr. No’s and Straight’s rather laid-back sets.  I rolled out my new Jellotail live drawing software during Michael Santos’s richly textured tones and got so immersed in the performance that I forgot to change visuals.  Special gues VJ and VJ Loops impresario Kyle Lyons was in from Spain to provide some visual cover to the machine gun synths of Jamka, while Dr. Mo accompanied the very danceable beats of Manchester’s MOQ.  Somehow, though, it was slub who brought the house down at the end with their autonomous-robot-drum-machine-livecoding-textual-based-computer-sound-madness culminating in crashing (or at least shutting down in a not-so-safe manner) all their laptops at the apex of their sonic madness.

Thanks to all who came, and those who performed! Definitely one of my favorite Immersion nights.

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).
