I am now on vimeo! There is only one video up so far(mainly because they only allow one upload per week), but stay tuned for more. If you are on vimeo, add me to your contacts to stay updated with all my latest videos and such.

Quick update

12:30 PM

Lately, I've been translating my analog video art into the realm of digital media, mainly to provide visuals for musical acts. I've got some exciting stuff down the pipeline: Audio reactivity, MIDI controlled video clips, digitally created feedback and more!

I'm currently working with singer/songwriter/controllerist/guitarist Blair on a live A/V setup. I've been doing visuals so far, but stay tuned for drums and visuals combined!

We are performing tonight at Puissance, at Viracocha in the Mission. Check it out!

Maker Faire!

8:41 PM

Sorry I haven't updated this site in months. I have been totally slammed with planning events and working on my own projects. In fact, I am rendering video clips at this very moment. Isn't multitasking fun?

I wanted to announce that I will be performing visuals at the 2011 Maker Faire Bay Area, May 21-22 at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds. I am also co-coordinating the music technology area called the Digital Sound Space.

LoveTech has teamed up with Pulsewave SF to create an interactive performance zone dedicated to new music technology. The Digital Sound Space will feature live performances and visuals from dozens of artists, as well as several different booths where you can meet the makers and experience exciting new music technology.

I will be performing visuals with my new VJ setup. I am using Resolume Avenue, and an Akai LPD8 as a controller. I generated most of my content with analog optical feedback loops. This is a slightly new direction for my visual performance. I have moved away from lugging around a CRT television and an old photo tripod. This new method is much easier and more stable, but still allows me to explore the world of analog video feedback.

Slayers Club + LoveTech 2 Year Anniversary!

2:31 PM

For the past few weeks I've been hard at work helping plan the Slayers Club + LoveTech 2 Year Anniversary show, 1.28.11 at Public Works in San Francisco, the most mindblowingly epic music, technology and art event of the decade!

The show is a collaboration between two amazing Bay Area crews, an amazing new venue and dozens of local electronic musicians, DJs, visualists, VJs, new media artists, dancers, painters and a whole slew of other wonderful people.

My role has been to organize the art spaces at the show, and I am once again honored to be working with an extremely talented group of local artists.

The show will feature two interaction zones packed with an array of interactive new media art and technology. Several pieces will be premiered at the show, and other pieces will give viewers the chance to play with some of the same new technology used on stage.

In addition to organizing, I will be displaying what may be the last iteration of my Laser Feedback Lab installation. I hope everyone can make it out to this incredible event.

Laser feedback video

8:18 PM

I just uploaded a brand new video of my Laser Feedback Lab installation.

Laser Feedback Lab is a video art installation, based on an optical feedback loop, that allows the viewer to explore interactions with laser pointers, pieces of glass or even just their hand.

This Installation was featured at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Million Fishes Gallery and LoveTech in San Francisco.

The soundtrack is was written by my good friend irisFibers, and is part of his "Thoughts Ideas" EP.
