GLI.TC/H 2011 Recap

The second annual GLI.TC/H noise & dirty new media gathering was held this past November. As part of the festivities, Evan Kühl and myself performed Vaudeo Signal at Enemy (Chicago) and at Steim (Amsterdam). Unsound, a selection from the Vaudeo Signal DVD, was also screened in Birmingham.

Thanks go out to all the organizers who put together such an exciting program of works, and for getting them presented in 3 cities, in 3 countries, in 3 weeks!

Speed Show #Brussels

GlitchBot was recently a part of Speed Show #Brussels. Thanks to Anne Roquigny & Yves Bernard for putting it together!

when we ran out of formats, there was ExtraFile

To help demonstrate “the importance of image file formats for digital art”, Kim Asendorf has created a handful of esoteric formats (4bc, bascii, blinx, cci, mcf, uspec, xff) and an application to convert between them and their more common bretheren (jpg, tiff, etc).

I had the honor of being part of a team of beta-testers / format hackers, and can attest that the new formats are a lot of fun to explore. By expanding the number of available image formats, they inject new life into the field of text / hex image hacking. The ExtraFile application is also a handy tool for general databending experiments, as it automatically refreshes the displayed image each time a change is made to the image’s source code.

The project has now been made available for the public at extrafile.org, so download it and start experimenting! Descriptions of the new formats are available on the project site.

Machined Love – Important Questions About Rain

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show Thursday night! For those that couldn’t make it, video of the live performance is below:

Vaudeo Signal @ Dorkbot Chicago – 7pm Thursday

Vaudeo Signal is an ongoing exploration of the interconnectivity of
sound and light. Media artists and medium hackers Evan Kühl and Ben
Baker-Smith repurpose a variety of aging archaic audio/video hardware
to forge synesthetic experiences.

Join Ben and Evan for a night of throbbing, squelchy, stroboscopic
sound and light – in live performance and Q&A, as well as a screening
of their self-titled 2010 release Vaudeo Signal.

Grotesque signal warfare will commence!

WTF:

What is a “dorkbot”?! The idea of the international dorkbot network is “people doing strange things with electricity” and meeting in informal, friendly environments to discuss their projects. These projects could include hardware hacks, New Media Art projects, creative code, circuit bent musical instruments or wild DIY garage science!
