AE @ Indigo: Cervus
Todd and Michael pulled of a hot video set to match the frenetic nature of the tracks that Cervus chose for his set opening for Justin Robertson. Heavy doses of camera feedback and kaleidoscopes were in effect.

AE @ Indigo: Stereo Total
Stereo Total emerged onstage just after 1:00am. Michael had loaded their logo into Videodelic and had it swirling around while the musical acts changed.

Tufan Demir opened the evening with a solid set that included some exceptionally good tracks.

AE @ Indigo: Johannes Heil
The fifth night at indigo brough with it a short sweet set of dark live electro from Johannes Heil from Kanzleramt Records in Frankfurt, who has worked with Dave Clarke, Sven Vath, and Legowelt. After starting real late, his live set was about 50 minutes that kept the house moving to his fat electro minimal funk traxx. Opening for Johannes was Fuchs, one of the owners of Dinamo FM . As always, he grooved the house (Ali Fuchs is one of the first DJs michael met when he came to istanbul, and also ...

AE @ Indigo: Mathias Schaffhäuser
Todd and Michael hit their stride on the 4th night of their residency at Indigo with Mathias Schaffhäuser from Multicolor Recordings in Berlin, who has remixed artists such as Goldfrapp ("Twist") and plays a high-energy Electro mix for labels like Tic Tac Toe, Vakant, Anorak and Palette. Mathias was bouncing around on stage bopping his arms around to his tunes in front of a full house in a good mood and wanting to dance. The VJ mix hit a real japanese style for most of the evening - all green an...

AE @ Indigo: Play Paul
Michael and Todd started their second weekend at Indigo with more set up fun. A different rental beamer was waiting for them on the stage. The club electrician, Ali, had gotten a mounting system jerry-rigged together, but it took he and Michael a good half hour of fiddling around at the top of a ladder to get it all set and working. Batu, one of Indigo's residents started of the evening with a fairly peppy minimal techno set. Todd worked a set of clips based on Takashi Ito's 'Spacy' short film. ...

AE @ Indigo: Onur Özer
On saturday, the second beamer for the side wall was still not installed when Todd and Michael arrived at Indigo. After Michael fiddled around with the connections to the two plasma screens in the barns to no avail, time had run short so we set up the second projector to project on one of the pillars and the side wall, by placing it in our booth. Cihan from Indigo was a bit distressed over the projection not being centered on the architecturally integrated screen on the side wall, but acceded to...

AE @ Indigo: DJ HELL
The AE residency at Indigo got off to an interesting start with DJ HELL. After finally getting our projectors hung at the last minute before the doors opened, Todd and Michael began the night with some ambient visuals of red, blue, and green squares created live in cosmic painter for the opening DJ, Onur Özer, who was playing a set of minimal techno and IDM (intelligent dance music). By the time that HELL came on at 1 AM, the club was packed to the rafters, and Todd and Michael were geared up to...

vjblog: Hunger for Novelty
According to recent studies completed at the Faculty of Arts and Science at Harvard University "Apparently our hunger for novelty begins with the eye itself, as the retina adapts to seek the unexpected, and ignore the commonplace". Japanese researchers have discovered that data can be written into a human fingernail by irradiating it with femtosecond laser pulses. Capacities are said to be up to 5 mega bits and the stored data lasts for 6 months - the length of time it takes a fingernail to be c...

vjblog: Black Eyed Post
Three things grabbed my attention today: 1. The second paragraph of Declaration of Independence includes the lines, "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, sic), it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it" 2. Some enterprising flash programmers have put up an animation of the location and number of american casualties overlayed onto a map of iraq which is updated daily, and 3. The iraqi resistance has a we...

Is there any doubt any longer about what needs to be done? Don't u all find it A BIT ABSURD that we are supposed to be criminals now for(inducing) filesharing, ripping, mixing, burning (CD's), and some people can just get away with ripping (off) mixing (up) burning (whole cities and countries) and murder without any consequences?

vjblog: I Build Mesh Networks
boingboing/craphound cyberpunk Cory Doctorow has a new book out, titled "Someone comes to town, Someone leaves town" which is a small departure and a great leap forward in style and subject matter from his previous outings in the SF genre, but which remains true to his contemporary areas of interest. Lets just say that i can't agree with him more in his framing of the freedom of access debate in a zeitgeist fairy tale of good vs evil remniscent of the science fiction trilogy by C.S. Lewis. For s...

vjblog: Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously
From wikipedia: Colorless green ideas sleep furiously is a sentence composed by Noam Chomsky in 1957 as an example of a sentence whose grammar is correct but whose meaning is nonsensical. If you havent noticed, fALk's favorite colour is green, that of this blog and its elements... home of where "Newly formed bland ideas are unexpressible in an infuriating way." And this time without music :)...

vjblog: Patriots and Open Source Cells
A couple of things caught my eye this week. AgentCell , a joint University of Chicago and Department of Energy project has developed software to simulate the intracellular processes and behavior of individual cells. The software, which includes a 3D environment for the cells to move about in, is being released under a BSD license. The Patriot Act was quietly extended to grant the FBI the power to conduct searches without having to obtain Judicial order. Music: Morganistic's In The Shadow mixed w...

vjblog: Disney Creativity for all
There's a cultural war going on that IMHO is far more determinative for our future than the superficial one being waged by the christian right against islam - a battle for our ability to communicate with one another creatively and interactively with the products of our shared culture. Todays vlogpost is a remix of the cover image from Lawrence Lessig's book, Free Culture some creative commons images, and Lost in the plot from The Dears, who took the SXSW festival this year by storm. Lessig talks...

Forget RFID...forget TV... now you have another reason to subscribe to ant feeds "If you're inside a building, a GPS receiver cannot find you. But a $40 radio chip from Rosum Corporation will do it, with the help of TV signals," notes Roland Piquepaille. The CIA-backed start-up says TV signals are 10,000 times stronger than the ones from GPS. Rosum founder James Spilker, one of the original architects of the GPS satellite... realized a synchronization feature in digital and analog television sig...

A few things came together today to enable me to continue with my 8 bit theme.

Enjoy the color design system that satisfies your pet-loving sensitivity!" Once there i found some pictures of poodles dyed in my favo...

8 bit color, 8 bit sound - I used to be (like many others of my generation) fascinated by Hasbro's Lightbrite... about a year ago i found this nice little mac OSX java app called ARRAY which allows u to make frame by frame animations and export them as flash movies. Just a nice little jumping off point to add some color scorch and vertical stretch fx and a track called "Uber Code" from Royal Space Force whose objective is to: "Salvage the remains of the 8-bit video game music by systematic audio...

Finally starting to come down from a mind-blowing week at AVIT UK in Birmingham. After meeting Toby Harris last summer at AVIT in San Francisco, I decided to get myself over to the UK to see what other VJs in Eupore were doing and hopefully meet some interesting folks. The trip exceeded my wildest expectations. Everyone at the conference was amazingly friendly and open. The sense of community was tremendous. The AVIT organizers put on the most fantastic event I have attended. Highlights included...

Juvenile justice systems across the United States are in a dangerous state of disarray. According to recently published reports, violence within the system is rampant and abuse of the youth inside by staff is routine. Juvenile facilities nationwide hold almost 104,000 youth. Many states have more juveniles held for property crimes, drug offenses, and public disorder than anything else; only A QUARTER of the youth are committed for violent crimes. We strive not only to be creative here at artific...

Today's re:vlog is an amalgamation of visitors to artificialeye who left comments complimenting us on the quality of the content, so i think it's fair to return the favor by re:vlogging them. In order of appearance: jay dedman licking his girlfriend's eyeball (already referenced once by faLk) combined with kristina rapacki's short film "abstract" which was inspired by Darren Aronofsky's "P.I." All effects, transitions lumakeys, and the chosen frames of the two videos were generated and exported ...

Ah yes, the day approaches when falk and i depart for the AVIT VJ conference, so time for a bit of last minute creativity before packing the bags, checking the equipment list and going throught the airport hassle on tuesday morning.

It means 3 security checks between istanbul and london for me...after awhile u learn how to pack all your gadgets so its easiest to unpack them even after they have been bombarded with electron...
