On Thursday 5th I’ll be back in London to perform at an Algorave at Cafe Oto

I’ll be playing an audio set alongside music and visuals from Deep Vain, Eye Measure, Hortense, Jude Marcella, Mahalia Henry-Richards, Miri Kat, Renick Bell, Seth De Silva, Yaxu, +777000 and hmurd.

Tickets are £15 plus booking for and can purchased from the Cafe Oto website.

Last time I was at Cafe Oto was 11 years ago for an Openlab workshop + performance which helped me on my path to explore programming as a creative practice, so it’s nice to be back but this time performing. :-)

From 16th January - 3rd February my 2016 piece Transformative Use will be on show at University of Greenwich as part of Granular: The Material Properties of Noise.

Granular noise is explored as a condition of material transfer in this exhibition. A central concern across the works on display is the material state change that occurs within the processes of mediation. Here, disintegration and/or reintegration of elements at a granular level is encountered as a mode of transference between states, whether physical or digital, and as a phase at which a thing starts or ceases to be.

Common Property held its opening event at Jerwood Space on 14th.

Jerwood Encounters: Common Property seeks to demonstrate how artists engage with and relate to copyright through the work of six emerging and mid-career artists, including three new commissions. The exhibition and accompanying events programme seeks to generate new conversations about how copyright is currently impacting the way visual artists make and distribute their work, and demonstrates how artists are challenging the limitations of copyright through their practice.

For what might be final gig of the year I’ll be returning to London (I’m there quite a lot these days) for an Algorave at Power Lunches:

The packed night features artists like Holger Ballweg, Shelly Knotts, Slub and Dario Villanueva against a backdrop of visuals from myself, Rituals and chez.io.

More information on the Facebook and y’all should buy tickets.

Expect fairy lights.

On Friday 20th September the Dark, Eerie and Manic remix video by myself and Alex Juno will be showing at Bloc Projects in Sheffield as part of Lumiére from 18:30 (Facebook event link).

Lumière‘s focus is on the concept of light. Light and time; light and vision; light and being; light and perception. Light is something so simple, yet indefinite and vital. It allows us to see; it can expose and reveal but also hide and conceal; it can create different moods; it can be used, manipulated, obscured or enhanced by us but it is always there.

On Friday 13th July I’ll be performing with Freecode at The reUNION in London from around 6pm

The reUNION is a new Public House, in the spirit of the 1830 Beer Act in which anyone could apply for a licence and open up their front room to the public, to sell – and even brew – beer from their own home.

It’s all free and will be going on till about 22:30. Directions can be found here, although it’s a 5 minute walk from Southwark or Borough Tube station, so should be easy to find

Please excuse the delay in alerting you about Bus Tops. I’ve been away in Brussels attending the Libre Graphics Research Unit’s Co-Position meeting, for which there will be a writeup of shortly ;-)

A team of artists in London have worked awesomely hard to bring you the greatest thing to happen to the top of bus stops. Evar! Bus-Tops brings still and animated art to the top of 30 bus stops around London. This video best explains what it’s all about:

From February 2th6 to 27th I was in London for dev8d. It describes itself as:

Dev8D is 4 days of 100% pure software developer heaven. It will be intense. It will be exhilarating. It will make you a better programmer.

• Learn to use unfamiliar languages (such as Python, Ruby and Clojure) • Team up with other developers and build rapid development projects for tech prizes • Take part in lightning session discussions with industry experts • Swap skills and ideas with other developers

On Saturday 24th October I was at Space Studios in London to attend the Chiptune Marching Band workshop. I was really excited to go to this as I haven’t had a chance to dedicate my time to a single project with my breadboard and Arduino board.

The Insectoid performance went great! At times is was a stressful day but it came together in the end! This is the space we performed in alongside Tai Shani, who were with the band Guapo. There’ll be audio and visuals from the event once it’s all processed!

Empire and Daughter Isotope + Insectoid

A one off performance by Tai Shani featuring epic prog band Guapo and electroclash diva Angie Reed. Cannibalizing pulp film and fiction through black magic cult rituals, a mini mouse anti-sacrifice of twelve virgins is crowned by five tableaux of notorious Satanist Anton Lavey posing in nudist magazine Jaybird.

Then, Insectoid’s hive colonise the stage and perform their own entomological rites, exploring insect behaviour to produce exoskeletal sounds.
