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.

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

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… »
