Gothenburg, Kulturnatta October 1st 10:30pm @ Världskulturmuseet

An organized Video Riot will be held for the first time in this part of Sweden. It is pulled together by PixelLab under the direction of Gorki Glaser-Müller. It’s going to be a collective VJ show with multi projection on the theme FUSION. VJ’s are given a chance to drop by and interpret the theme with their own material.

It’s an open event where everyone is welcome. Our aim is to fill the entire big wall above the stairs with projections. High and low, bright and dark, graphics and video. A mosh pit of moving images!

Video artists are finally given a huge free space in Gotheburg. This event – if successful – could lead to future collaborations with the city of Gothenburg and companys here on the west coast. So don’t miss it! Send an e-mail to Gorki over at PixelLab pixellabsweden[at]gmail[dot]com and tell him you’re in!

Skynoise just published some interesting stats on Google search terms related to VJing.

The French Iduun collective has finally released their eagerly awaited mapping module “MapMapMap” for Modul8. This module helps you with the perspective transformation, rotation of placements of layers as well as other useful functionality. Have a look at the documentation:

As a module maker myself, I must say that the Iduun collective makes some of the most interesting modules and they use techniques you don’t really know are possible to achieve within Modul8. If you’re in to Modul8, Python and module making be sure to look and learn from their code.

Nino S will do an audio-visual performance, lecture and VJ workshop at the Belgrade of Light festival, 9-16 september.
