PERFORMANCE
Untitled (My Media Album) (2006)



Untitled (My Media Album) is a piece for live video processing, A/V/VJ performance using a joystick interface.

Untitled (My Media Album) is a live cinematic VJ piece, which mixes elements of mainstream news media and footage shot with an early video-capable mobile phone with beats-music and abstract video. Untitled (My Media Album) is inspired by club beats, pop forms, lo-fi and video game music, as well as Op Art, color field painting and experimental animation and film/video.



Moving images from custom video footage, mobile phones, the Internet, video games, wild flowers in southern California and simple techno-digital patterns and animations are manipulated in real-time. I used a joystick and then later a custom interface I created to control live video processing of the image. Using such an interface, one can begin to work out what it means to "play the image" in real time.

Music and images by N_DREW (aka Andrew Bucksbarg) with some appropriated still imagery.
