Je-Sus … what possibilities this mind-blowing tech invokes! At the Amsterdam Film Experience, I was lucky enough to run into Ramon Shreuder, one of the crazed catz behind a break-through interactive audio/visual interface :: we talked of the future of VJ appz, club-installations, etc. and I was blessed with opportunity of sampling his I_AM interface in person. I must’ve been in front of this thing for a good three hours over the course of the weekend… These sorts of technologies turn me on in a way that mere human language fails to express, the future of music/video lies in these cross-sensorial synaesthetic approaches! 

“the ElkCloner knows what time it is.” ~Jake ::BLAM:: Zambas, M•Bot resident post-historical evolutionary strategist. It was after a weekend-long culture jam with ISOSCELES whilst attending the inspirational/disturbing Singularity Summit, that I vidied his work for the first out-of-time… and what mad neural pathways this cat ignited! Surely a keeper for all you singed cyberpunk-ed cultural refugees. Its chock full of post-historical evolutionary strategy, mutant mosquitos, and even a psychedelic flying tricycle! ELK CLONER : the first virus preview_intro21.jpg

http://www.semiconductorfilms.com is where its at. After leaving their coveted DVD in my player for more than a couple weeks, culture jamming with cats on it everday, I had the honor of showing work along-side one of their installations at the at the Amsterdam Film Experience in 2007. SEMICONDUCTOR is simply one of the most innovative groups of forward-thinking programmers/artists around; their work is like a bukake of cutting-edge minimalist CG with concepts that run deep, conscious video orga[ni]sms, pixels that burst out of the screen… The synaesthetic content is always flawless, with audio merging with visuals in (w)holy unexpected ways. They weave in the science, the philosophy, and take content to the next level. Vidi one of their projects below, then pleeeeeease, if you have any sense, buy their DVD!

We’ll flick this global mind on yet(!), with bursts of living synaesthetic data flooding the streets; even the squares will become waves in that psychedelic spectrographic frenzy of cross-sensorial hybridization. Any day now … ;) pitaru.jpg
