It took 10 years for me to get to the Mapping Festival in Geneva. I wish I would have gone sooner but being there for the 10th anniversary was great. People who has been coming for years said that this year was one of the best in the festival history.
Yesterday I met up with Dan (ElectricKingDan) from Startsladd during his brief visit to Stockholm. We talked VJ-ing in general and the Galantis live premier video in specific over tacos, beer and coffee.
I didn’t think I was going to post anything more this month but a video from the Volt festival just surfaced showing the Vidiots visuals for Black Dog.
I promised to post a longer video from the I.R.I.S. mapping as soon as it became available from the artists. To my surprise one has been compiled already.
This weekend Stockholm had it’s largest most ambitious facade mapping yet. I.R.I.S. is a 15 minute show by multi disciplinary artist Jesper Wachtmeister displayed on the face of the Stockholm City Museum. I was there for the Friday night premiere and I will share some clips I captured of what I think worked out well.
So it’s been now one week since I participated in the Mad Mapper workshop that was held by 1024 Architecture‘s François Wunschel and Modul8‘s founder Boris Edelstein. I can’t stop coming up with new ideas for future projects after this so I felt I should enlighten those who don’t know about the software or the new […]
This weekend I got an email from Lasse Andersen a.k.a. Same Same, a fellow visualist from the Dark Matters collective in Copenhagen. He was pushing their last video from the Trailerpark Festival 2011 but since it was so freaking nice I asked him a bit about how it was made and about the people involved […]
Ben Cook (Synthetics) and I went to the VJ Festival in Erlangen, Germany, to perform with our act Instructions. It’s a new festival that I became aware of when they contacted the Swedish VJ Union about half a year ago, right in the backwaters of the Visual Berlin festival scandal. What started up as a small festival became a pretty big one with 8 VJs, 11 A/V live acts, 3 movie screenings, 7 installations and 9 DJs.
During Kulturnatta in Gothenburg Gorki Glaser-Müller with his project PixelLab pulled together an organized video riot at Världskulturmuseet…
The Volt crew came back with yet another festival at the concert hall in Uppsala. I recognized a lot of faces from last year. It feels like Volt only invites their friends to perform, but with friends like these, who could blame them?
