‘Plinth’, De La Warr Pavilion

Last night MOTH tattooed the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-On-Sea in white stripes and quivering lyre strings. This was the latest chapter in a story that started way back in November 2008 with the Cybersonica AV Lab. For one day of the week-long programme, a group of digital artists were given the freedom to […]

KAMIKAZE SHARK

I don’t normally go down and mosh at Koko but the bands were so feckin good on Friday I practically had no choice. Even when the drummer of White Man Kamikaze threw one of his sticks into the crowd and it thwacked me in the leg (lucky I took that step back as I saw […]

BE @ PROUD + CLUB NME @ KOKO + ELECTROVISION

This weekend brings my last performance at Be (Proud Galleries), for a few weeks.

Norwegian electropop minx Annie‘s DJ set for Be’s low-key birthday event delighted with a […]

Radiohead/House of Cards

Just a quick one………………………………………………. Trend-buckers Radiohead have released a video made without cameras or lights. You can download the data and play with it yourself here. It’s also well worth having a look at the Making Of to see how the technology works. The potential of this sort of scanning system in film and visuals […]

Hed Kandi Summer Mix

Spent a week in the MoS-TV last month animating scenes for the new Hed Kandi Summer Mix CD. This one was somewhat more elaborate than the last HK spot, which involved only one scene reworked for several shots. The concept of this one, worked up by art director James Worsely from illustrations by regular HK […]

KABLAMMO

Unexploded WW2 bomb right behind my house on Three Mills Island. They are detonating it today inside an igloo. Here, let the Daily Mail explain it (What other paper would specify that a bomb left over from WW2 bombings was a GERMAN BOMB? Cheer up DM, it’ll be over by Christmas). They’re making a stop-motion […]
