Getting new members injects energy into the organization. Fake Pilot (a.k.a. Mattias Lindberg) is one of our latest additions and he has been cramming Quartz Composer and Processing books lately and shared valuable tips and video experiments in our Facebook group. I thought I’d share some of that here on the blog.

Akira Miyanaga for Volt 2011
Last year I went to Japan, traveling around Hokkaido and Kansai. The trip was a part of my current art project, as well as a chance to check out the local VJ-scene. In Kyoto I met up with my college Akira Miyanaga during his exhibition at Kodama Gallery. VJ Akira has a master degree in fine art and teaches at Kyoto Seika University & Kyoto University of Art and Design. He is also the co-founder of Gura Studio, where several artists live and work. I invited Akira to Sweden and on the 11th of June he will be performing at Volt festivalen in Uppsala.
Transfett joins the union
We’re proud to welcome Transfett to the Swedish VJ Union. Together with KubKub they are the Swedish VJ Union’s representation in south Sweden. You might have seen the Mille’s “Crysteena” video that has been circling the net the last few weeks – that’s some splendid video mapping singed by Transfett.
Nils Berg Cinemascope
I was going to see this spectacle live at the Gothenburg Film Festival but spaced out after having two beers(!) and missed it. The concept was so awesome that I went straight home to google it. Nils Berg Cinemascope is a band that plays along with their favorite Youtube clips of people playing instruments.
All eyes on: Leolyxxx
I’ve been mailing back and forth with my buddy Leo Hallin a.k.a. Leolyxxx during 2009. Leo is a talented illustrator who recently transfered in to the animation scene. He has done some remarkable animations together with fellow artist Finsta. Their animation “Bollen” has reached +15k hits on Vimeo. Leo has talked to me about using his animations for live visuals and he recently took one step closer by making this really nice loop for O-Baren, a popular Stockholm bar.
