I'm excited to announce that I've been offered my very first gallery showing as a visual artist NOT a music artist for my lo fi , toy digital video/crappy cellphone video/crappy webcam 'animations' for my own abstract electronica. You can see them here if you haven't already www.youtube.com/looppool Anyway, I'm tying to kick start a little micro-movement (the LO FI - TOY DIGITAL -ABSTRACT VIDEO MOVEMENT) and to try and get several really creative people I know to start making short, ambient, silent abstract films using terrible quality digital video equipment (cameras, cell phones. webcams, et. al.) I have enough films for the entire show but I thought it would be more exciting and creativity inspiring to try and get a more communal approach to the show, so I'd love to What I envision is a gallery with several video projectors projecting on the walls of a gallery (with a central screen). The films can have audio accompaniement but they will be projected silently, so as not to draw focus from the main screen of the gallery. I can't promise that I'll accept every entry (and I'm going to have to scare up many, many projectors to pull this off, but I'd be thrilled if some of the people in this community would contribute to this art project. Also, I am considering scheduling the gallery showing to coincide with Y2K9. I have the idea to have my own films be projected silently as the loopers who play the San Jose 'Best of Y2K9' annual show be the 'pit orchestra' to make music in real time inspired by the video projections (while others' videos project simlutaneously around the rest of the gallery. For those of you who don't own a cheap digital camera (that takes terrible 30 second lo fi videos) or a cheap webcam or a cheap cell phone that takes lo fi movies: Aiptek makes an amazing cheap $20 video camera with USB connectivity and sound (and even flash card memory). It's called the DV4100m and it's on sale right now at _*http://www.aiptek.com/ *_I own two of them and love them!
