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.

Hac Festival 12 June 2008

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.
