VJing at the 2010/2011 Falls Festival

This is a small part of the VJ set David Wolf and I did for Peaches at the Falls Festival. She asked for trashy fun stuff involving lots of LEDs and lights. It's not our normal kind of work, but it was an embarrassingly fun gig to play.

Latest versions of 'The Illustrated Companion to Invisible Cities'


In Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, Marco Polo tells a series of stories from his travels to Kublai Khan. Each story describes a different fantastical and impossible city, each story perfect in it's completeness. As the tale develops, it becomes a way for Polo to discuss, at such a distance, his own home city of Venice.

Ever since I first read it, I've been making works for a companion visual piece. There has been about six different versions of this. These are some notes for the latest version, which will be discarded along with the rest.

What Was the Hipster?

"The hipster moment did not produce artists, but tattoo artists. It did not yield a great literature, but it made good use of fonts."
