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.

Today is our second day of shooting for Portable Stories. We’re doing the office scenes and maybe some street level stuff if things go smoothly. I’ve also been hard at work on one of the sub-projects of PS, the Fort Street Project which will eventually find another home at the new openspace.ca website I’ll be building in the new year. I’m basically building a 3d version of the end of Fort Street that we’ll use in some special effects shots. Crazy.

In other news I signed up for a nifty Flickr Pro account so that I may be more like my friends and people I admire. My latest shot is entitled “but Drew had never seen a camera before.” and it is awesome.

Tomorrow night T Clark has an opening at Deluge (636 Yates St) of photographic works and it promises to be quite a smashing time. Chaindlk.com has a little bit of text about it here. Smashing.

In other news, we’ve started shooting Portable Stories and I’ve started on the animations as well. The first shoot was on November 30th at the Bibli Ophelia with Russ and Erin.
