Photos from the Perform.Media performance session Saturday evening are behind the cut. Cameras were allowed so I shot about 150 images. Notice I used the Canon Digital Rebel XT from work rather than my Powershot SD10--the image quality is considerably improved despite shooting conditions. I never would have taken any successful pictures shooting in the dark with my wee camera.
This was a free multimedia audio and video set with twelve or thirteen ensembles contributing. I attended with
corporatepiracy,
freeze_etch,
certain_harbors, and Marty.
The evening started off with an a/v set dripping with mathmatical equations about motion/stagnance from local artist the Lone Logician. He did the visuals in Powerpoint--you never would have guessed.
The next set was one of my favorites. It was by Yuk-Yiu Ip & ST, (Hong Kong). The video, called "The Lonedale Hysteria", was a jagged commentary on tech and women's frenzy using old footage of a female frantically using Morse Code to call for help. The audio consisted of train sounds remixed at a deafening level to mirror the edited video of the code.
They also did the video installation seen Friday night with the mash-up of the two 'Psycho' films. Inspiring like whoa.
A clip from Egg Ensemble's (USA) (The Enigma of Salvador) Dali's Egg.
Aerostatic- Michele Darling and Terry Golob (USA)
They played a beautiful rhythmic ambient set. I spoke with Michele and Terry during the intermission and after the show--very nice people and eager to collaborate and discuss. Terry showed me how to use the Alesis AirFX and AirSynth devices with which he performed. They're equivalent to a programmable theremin. I nearly peed myself with joy.
Two shots of Rob Dietz, one right after the other. He performed an a/v set that gave altered perspectives depending on where one stood or sat in the room. We were invited to get up and walk around during the performance.
Mark Trayle making music with credit cards he lifted from audience members. Each time he swiped a card, the barcode would register as a series of sounds. Neat. Adam speculated he was using Ebay simultaneously.
A series of clips from Dennis Miller's (USA) Circles and Rounds. Probably one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. It was mechanical and organic and just plain mesmerizing.
And finally, a few pictures of Bubblyfish, who played an amazing 20-min 8-bit music set on a Game Boy. Not only is she a classically-trained composer who really knows her stuff musically (despite her instrument choice), she is totally adorable and danced through the entire set. It was awesome. I smiled the whole time. Visuals by Rob Dietz.

Thank you!
