Performance Party XXV

Performance Party webcast

Last year Steve and I put together 24 Hours 24 Artists for Jump-Start’s Performance Party XXIV. It was a lot of fun, a lot of work and sadly, not happening this year. Instead, I’m going to webcast the entire 4 – 5 hour Performance Party XXV tomorrow night which Jump-Start says will have “something for everyone: season previews, big groups, solo performers, dance, live music, performance art, comedy, video, fire-eating, glamour, and the absurd! Strap on your space-helmets, it’s going to be a fabulous ride.”

Catch the show live, starting at 7pm CST.

Update: Check out the video archive.

Hey check it out! It’s another cat video on the internet. In fact, it’s a video of a cat watching a cat video. How fun is that? I know, right.

Anyway, the reason that I made this was to show Jay how I edit iPhone video in Final Cut Pro. So, if you’re interested in that (plus how I compress the video), download this -> iPhone to Final Cut Pro.

This video is part of a game that a bunch of us are playing this month. The idea is that each day, someone different makes a 90 second video, inspired in some way by the previous day’s piece. This video was inspired by Heath’s video and tomorrow Mike will make one somehow based on this one. I’m collecting all the videos over here.

In case you’re interested, here’s the chain of though that led to this video. Read More »

Embryonic

I’ve known of The Flaming Lips for a long time. I vaguely remember seeing them play in Oklahoma in the fall of 1986. Fast-forward twenty-something years and Last.fm is constantly telling me that I need to listen to them. So about 4 months ago I downloaded a few of their albums and totally fell in love. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is so fucking good it instantly became one of my all time favorites.

Kids

I can tell you right now that I’m not doing the 30 videos in 30 days thing. But seeing that NaVloPoMo is happening I took a look through some of things I’ve shot on my phone and found these. Over the last year a lot of new kids have moved into the neighborhood. This is what they look like from in front of my house.

Cabaret of Flames

My friend Poid is big time into Burning Man and it’s virtual equivalent (sort of) Burning Life. This year she made an installation in Second Life based on her experience at this year’s Burning Man. I made this short video to help document/promote it all. You can read more about Cabaret of Flames over here.
