Double Agent

This is just a belated advertisment for the Mead Gallery's Double Agent exhibit, a multimedia installation which combines sculpture, video art, film, audience participation and (if you show up on a Saturday) includes artist Donelle Woolford creating original works live in the gallery.

The link above goes to the official rubric (which is pretty basic) but it's an interesting installation, especially if you're considering looking at ideas of performance and performativity.

DJ Yoda (Again)

Just in response to Deans post.

I dont think this is taken from Dj Yodas current tour "Magic cinema show", But its a clearer illustration of his interaction between video and sound. He plays along side the famous 'dualing banjo' scene from deliverance, manipulating a prerecorded performance in real-time.

DJ YODA... VJ/DJ SET

Just thought that this was an interesting clip to show you all. It also links quite nicely with the powerpoint presentation that I was a part of...

I went to see DJ Yoda in Oxford a couple of weeks ago and he has apparently been working with a technology company in order to develop an exciting, new 'video-jockey' programme. His tour is called 'THE MAGIC CINEMA SHOW' and he effectively controls both video and music in order to create a... magical cinema if you like haha!

It was an amazing experience to go and see this live and I am considering going to see it again. Just thought I'd add it to the blog for people to have a look at.
