Dr. Mo has some great photos of yesterday’s Immersion. I have a few too. Lukas Vojir has some video of his and Dialog’s set as well.
Glitchnight added some photos of Glitchnight at Vibe Bar.
Thanks to all who attended both! The performances were all top notch. I love how people are going out of their way to create short, experimental pieces for Immersion nights. To get up on my soapbox, I think its important that there are nights like this in London, where the emphasis is less on getting your face off into the wee hours at some loud club, or on producing a piece of absolute visual perfection on a massive stage, and more on producing some short but ambitious performances in front of an audience who is very willing to appreciate them, in a venue like The Flea Pit where you can enjoy some good ales and not freeze your bottom quarters off in a dodgy squat party while trying to dodge projectile projectors dropping from the ceilings above because the duct tape holding them up has come unstuck.
Not that I don’t love a good squat party, or that I haven’t played my share, but at some point in this business you want to feel a bit more physically safe and dry while performing with electronics, and also appreciated as an artist doing something legitimate and interesting. The chance to do something risky, visually and technically, in a safe space lets you fail gracefully and, most importantly, interestingly.
Thanks to all who have been a big part of our great successes and graceful failures over the past few years!

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.
