A new Hope

The end of the dark empire, a new hope. The end of DOPE the rise of HOPE. 40 yrs after Martin Luther King 1-20-09 we make history. I am thrilled to have small way of participating as I VJ a "When we were Kings" night in tribute to Obama and King this weekend. Not the same as being in Washington DC but I'll take it.

This is one of my fave gifts from Christmas. I'll debut it at the club this weekend.

Bush Shoe Sniper Game

Just after the Iraqi shoe throwing incident, I had the idea for this game. I sent it and some art files I had previously done of Bush for a Flash cartoon to a Flash developer friend who is actually able to program things like parabolic curves and z-depth based collision detection. A few days later Niilo had built this game enlisting the voice of an LA comedian he has worked with who is known as a great Bush impersonator.

Sonic Arts Collective

On Dec 19th I VJed at Proctor's for a "musical" style that was a definite departure for me. Experimental art noise more than melodic music. Members of the the Albany Sonic Arts Collective including the band Bad Costume performed while I VJed as did Jason Cosco (his screen projected above mine and is only partially visible in these two videos.






This stuff had a very different rhythm and pace but once I got accustomed to it I found it was liberating. I was able to be more experimental. I have some ideas I'll explore if and when I work with them again. I'll try using more original text on screen. Some longer works almost mini-short stories.
