Visuals @ the movies | Mobius


[ English ]
In order to avoid the heat from Los Angeles, I decided to go to the theater yesterday, while waiting for the previews to start (we got there pretty early) they where showing visuals, and while they didn't have an actual VJ performing, I liked the idea, and thought about the possibility of a new market rising.. (or at least new to me).

The responsables of this: Mobius TV a cross-platform motion media arts project exhibiting the work of the world's best contemporary creatives, artists and animators, claims to have the "largest collection of motion video art in existence." I'm also not sure if this is something new, that's happening in all theaters or only that specific one I went yesterday.

[ Castellano ]
Con la unica intencion de huir de la extrema ola de calor en Los Angeles, decidi pasar mi tarde en un cine disfrutando del aire acondicionado, antes de que comiencen los avances / publicidades, (llegamos bastante temprano a la sala) comenzaron a pasar visuales, y si bien no tenian a un VJ en vivo, me parecio una buena idea y comence a pensar en las posibilidades de un nuevo mercado emergente, (o quizas nuevo para mi).

Los responsables de esto: Mobius TV un proyecto de artes mediatica de multiples plataformas que muestra el trabajo de los mejores artistas, animadores y creativos del mundo, segun ellos tienen la coleccion mas larga de "video art" en existencia. No estoy seguro si esto es algo que comenzara a funcionar en todos los cines o solo pasa la sala que visite ayer.

Respond-r is a reactive video system with a commercial take for branding or advertising, some of the samples are pretty creative, the custom tabletop / bar surface is probably my favorite. More info at the PlayOptix website.

Here is a little clip of scratch/hip hop/break Japanese duo Hifana.

During their sets they cut beats w/real time sampling (MPC) while incorporating scratch and percussion without the need of programming. You may also want to check their video Wamono. (shown below)

Lichterloh VJs | Austria


[ English ]
Here is a little clip I found from Austria based VJs Christoph Schmid and Clemens Guertler AKA: Lichterloh.

"We're probably the only VJ's around here that don't use a videomixer, we use 2 laptops with Resolume, both are connected via firewire, using Resolume's vidnet protocol we send the output of one laptop into a Resolume-layer of the other laptop, where we create the final output. We use a Behringer BCR-2000 and a Edirol PCR-30 to control both laptops via MIDI, not much of stunning equipment here, but as we are still students this got to be it."

Aqui un pequeno clip que eoncontre del grupo Austriaco de VJs conformado por Christoph Schmid y Clemens Guertler AKA: Lichterloh.

"Quizas somos los unicos VJs por estos lugares que no usan un video mixer, en vez de eso usamos 2 laptops con Resolume, ambas interconectadas por medio de firewire y usando el protocolo Vidnet, enviamos la salida de una laptop a otra, donde es cargada en un layer de Resolume, y de ahi creamos el output final. Utilizamos tambien un Behringer BCR-2000 y un Edirol PCR-30 para controlar ambas laptops, no hay mucho equipo por aca, aun somos estudiantes y usamos lo que podemos."
