DUTYCYCLE @ Space Gallery SF 1.15.09 from DutyCycle on Vimeo.

(the video is now available on Vimeo and it looks great!)

Morgan (aka crashfaster) shot and edited this video from the DutyCycle show last month. It looks pretty damn nice and does a great job of giving a feel for the night. I provided him with a few clips of my vids, which are keyed and mixed in throughout the piece. He might be putting an even high quality version up on Vimeo at some point. I’ll post a link if he does.

Recently I attended a great party with a whole host of good visuals. For most of the night, my pal Satsi was on the beamers. As always he did great stuff.

I also had the pleasure of meeting and watching DangerMarc, a live digital painter. He uses a gigantic Wacom tablet (more like a table), a laptop and Corel Painter. It is really cool watching him create in a live setting and being immersed in the things that are influencing him, be it the people, the music, the lighting, the mood, the space itself.

Marc is presently selling a print he made of Obama, with the purpose of selling enough of them to donate the max amount of money one person can donate to his campaign, which is $2300 I think.

It is a very clever idea. I really love that so many artists and regular people are coming together to help get Barack Obama into the White House, and are joining the political process, many for the first time.

This past weekend I provided visuals for a small underground psytrance party called “Revolution”. I was working in a small space literally around the corner from my place, so I had room to experiment with the set-up. I whipped together a quick platform big enough for two projectors, and attached it to I-beams on the ceiling with tie-down. For something thrown together, it work pretty well.
I aimed one projector at a wall mounted screen, and the other at a series of fine mesh curtains, hung in layers. The mesh was a bit too thin and there were not enough layers of it, but it still had a nice effect.
