Video Riot

Essentially a number of video artists and VJ’s showed up in this parkinglot with all their projectors aimed at this 3 story tall block long warehouse and projected a patchwork video wall. It had the feel of a big tailgate party or a night at the drive in. There was a pirate radio station setup with live DJ’s and most of the cars tuned in to provide a makeshift sound system.

It was truely amazing for me, I met so many people and my work went over better than I expected. I talked to promoters, curators, other artists interested in collaborating, and even a guy that was interested in carrying my DVD in his cd shop when I get it put together. A lot of people approached me asking questions about my setup, how it worked, what software I was using, and where I got my footage from. There was so much energy and interest in the crowd that I really realized why I moved out here.
