VBLANK Graffiti : @ Philadelphia

admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 22:37:07 +0000

In coordination with the December 8static event, I’ve created an “augmented reality” gallery of my visuals throughout Philadelphia. Giant Chip8 Pixel-Corgi’s, Llamas, and other beasties across west Philly and throughought the city!

These virtual designs can be viewed starting today from any GPS & Camera endowed phone running Apple’s iOS or Android OS. To view it, you’ll need to download a free app from your respective app store called “Layar” and search for “VBLANK” or “VBLANK Graffiti.”

You’ll have to be in the Philadelphia area to see them, and need to be near 8Static for the full parade. More planned to coincide with future visual exhibitions & shows.

VidByter : MIDIo firmware premiered at 8STATIC

I’ll be doing live visuals for this Saturday’s 8static event in Philadelphia, and showing-off my new MIDIo firmware mixed with the set. This new work streams live and recorded video footage through a circa 1977 RCA “Pixie” video emulator on my MIDIo kit circuit.

Saturday should be a killer show with Animal Style, Zen Albatros, my previous partner in crime Natty, and Boston’s Cathode Rays who recently knocked out a new album at their website.

Bring along your 3G phone, & you can also get a view of my recently released “VBLANK Graffiti” Layar 3D augmented visuals. I’ll be lacing the Baltimore Avenue area with 20ft. tall virtual Cosmac style graphics from my set.

In an absurdly UN-video move; I’ll be exhibiting a new series of interactive images at Bambi Project, here in Philadelphia’s NoLibs neighborhood at the Schmidt’s Piazza!

This series is only viewable when the viewer breathes on the mirrored surface of each image. Despite a very 1880’s look, these devices are packed with microcontroller goodness.

This dark series, and images from two more of my “dead-technology” sets will be on display Friday the 1st through the end of the month. The party is on this end starting at 6pm

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:19:50 +0000

I’ve just offered up three special “Sellout Edition” versions of my new “Pocket VBLANK” circuit at 8bc.

These boards will be released in full force in the next couple of weeks, at my latest ‘WIP’ website and at the merchandise table at Blip Festival 2009 on December 17, 18 & 19. The first run is only for 32 prebuilt boards.

Here’s what the “Pocket VBLANK” is…

prebuilt 2.5″ x 3″ circuit board (size of an altoid tin) ready to plug in and go. comes with a power supply.
Plug in your live or pre-recorded music via an 1/8″ stereo mini from your sound board, mp3 player, Gameboy, or where-ever.
Plug your NTSC TV or Projector in via the RCA jack.
pixel images and colors modulate and change based on the audio as if I was standing next to you, drinking your beer & jamming out on video to your tunes.

It’ll run $110 for the regular version including a power supply, pre-built and ready-to-run. email if you want one before then ; )
