Yaxu (Alex McLean of http://lurk.org) captured this great shot from Area 10 Medialab launch gig this weekend. I have a nice hi-res video of the event, plus some of the other performances, which I’ll upload soon. I also have some great audio and video (audio straight from the soundboard, really clean and clear as a mountain spring) from the last Immersion that I’ve been meaning to post. My computer had a Quicktime meltdown, but is back in fine working shape again and ready to spend hours rendering quality video once more.
UPDATE: Oli (yesyesnono.com) has some more photos

I’ll be doing a visuals set to the sounds of Robert Atwood and Jag (variseq+electronics v.s. din) on 4th April 2008 for a fundraiser at the minesweeper.tv boat. A whole host of others will be playing as well, and it will run from 6pm until midnight. More details TBA.
UPDATE: Lots of good details can be found on Lurk.org

My first thought after (and during) this past Immersion at The Flea Pit, London - Where did all you people come from?! People were queued up in the hallway leading to the performance wing of The Pit for almost the entire night. It got so crowded that I had to stop videoing the event, people were in the way of my camera. We had to trust our laptop screen in the back while doing visuals because we couldn’t see past the crowd to the screens!
Of course, this is a good thing. Thanks to everyone who showed up! Your enthusiasm and energy makes these (free) events worthwhile.

Another Immersion, and some excellent repeat performances as well as new faces manning the visuals (for us, anyway). Starting around 7pm and lasting until 11:30pm, on 7 February 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.

Here in the European heart of global finance that is London, there are no shortage of closed, corporate-sponsored, invite-only events promoting proprietary products with secret formulas and patented ideas. A refreshing break from this trend is the perennial Openlab series of events, now in its fourth incarnation. Openlab is a loose collective of artists, computer industry professionals, and performers whose main goal is to spread free software an ideas through events with talks, workshops, and performances.
Openlab4 took place 25 November at Melange, an aspiring art-friendly venue just north of east London’s art-clogged arteries of Old Street and Shoreditch. Read more… »

I’ve been playing with this excellent program originally done by Josh Nimoy for an installation with GRL (Graffiti Research Labs). It’s a chunky, colorful, NYC-graffiti-style painting tool that works cross-platform and is open source. I’d been kicking around this idea in my head for awhile about creating a live performance painting tool, which isn’t exactly an original concept - see Golan Levin’s Yellowtail, Zach Lieberman’s Drawn, and the very hypnotic SuperDraw, for example. I’ve never seen Yellowtail live, but I did see the very early version of SuperDraw performed to some robotic German techno in the basement of the old Tonic club on NYC’s Lower East Side. Fantastic! Who thought that drawing abstract, floating shapes in time to music could be so engrossing?

This is my favorite set so far. The audio and video are so tightly wound in this performance that you couldn’t slide a nanowire in between them. I was hypnotized; the images just seemed to pour straight out of my mind onto the blank projection screen. Dammit, this set had atmosphere. Big thanks to Duskrider for that.
