This is a test post.

If you happen to be in Sydney, Australia on September 26 and happen to be near Sydney Olympic Park you should check out my short video work this is box/this is machine at the flEXiff film festival. If for some reason you can’t make it to the screening (ie. sickness, family emergency, you don’t live in Australia, etc.) you can watch it here. Thanks to Scott Amos and MediaNet for promoting the video.

EPI has been confirmed for Interactive Futures in November here in Victoria, I’ll repost when a date is confirmed.

WE ARE EXPLODING
Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable redux
date and location TBA

Featuring robot_mixeur, aka Stefan Müller Arisona (Zurich,
Switzerland), babel, aka Chris Joseph (London, UK, Montreal) Jackson
2Bears (Victoria), Love&Olson (Victoria), Adam Tindale (Calgary), Randy
Adams (Nanaimo), Steve Gibson (Victoria)

An indulgent explosion of electronic music, visual phantasma and free improvisation comes to Interactive Futures 07. Featuring multiple screens of optical hysteria mastered by the sublime talents of Love&Olson, babel and Randy Adams. These pleasures will be equally mashed with the adulterated beats of robot_mixteur, the deep drum and bass of Jackson
2Bears, the laboratory approved electronica of Adam Tindale and the furious techno of Steve Gibson. A digital aberration on the scale of it’s 1960s namesake, this circus of light and sound presents itself for your explicit enjoyment for one night only.

Steve Gibson has uploaded a bunch of new photos and video to the EPI site from our gig in Zurich at Digital Art Weeks, you can check them out at http://www.telebody.ws/Exploding/

The people of Zurich were visually manhandled by Scheinwerfer and Love&Olson, to the awesome sounds of Steve Gibson, robot_mixeur and Jackson 2bears.

Not my favourite piece, but definitely my favourite image from documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany. I wasn’t all that impressed with the show and I think this article in the Telegraph sums up my feelings on the whole.

Sarah and I are headed to Zurich this afternoon where Love&Olson are doing visuals at Digital Art Weeks this Saturday night in an encore of Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable. I’ll be posting pictures of the event sometime early next week. Auf Wiedersehen!
