This installation at Heineken’s Green Room Sessions party at Malmen, Stockholm, is a was a group effort. Jakob Grandin, head of Grandins Flying Circus asked the Vidiots to set up a triple screen video installation displaying film and photography from a number of artists. One wall displayed a slideshow and the other two video. Every 8th second a strobe went off the movies and the slideshow changed.

The gear used in this project was 3 projectors, a Triplehead2go and a Macbook Pro running Modul8 (VJ software). A Modul8 module, that was programmed specially for the occasion by The Midi Thief, sent a midi signal to a DMX light board causing the strobe to flash and the video plus slideshow to forward to the next piece.

Last weekend I threw together a strobe module for Modul8. Imagine combining a disco strobe with the flash function in Modul8 and adding some steroids. You can for example pick strobe color and the flicker frequency. What I like the most is the option to flicker the ”layer alpha” instead of color. This is probably the first Modul8 module that comes with a warning label.

You can read more about the module in Garagecube’s Modul8 forum. The module can be downloaded in the ”Online Library” in Modul8.
