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.

Galantis Live Premiere
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.

Stockholm’s most ambitious video mapping yet
This weekend Stockholm had it’s largest most ambitious facade mapping yet.

Report from the VJ Festival in Erlangen, Germany
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.

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?
