On September 9, we led our
Phase Shift
Intro to Live Visuals workshop at Patchwerks, a synth
boutique in Seattle. This was our biggest group so far on this
tour, with almost 30 people attending. Luckily, we had
assistance from local artists & people from the video
community, and everyone had an excellent time collaborating
and exploring analog video feedback with cameras and mixers,
optical effects, and liquids.
Many thanks to
Connie Fu,
SleepPattern,
and
Tesseractive
for helping facilitate and lending equipment!

While camping in the national forests in Wyoming and Montana,
I spent some time looking closely at the many forms of moss,
lichen, fungi, and flora inhabiting the forest floor. Since
much of my artwork draws inspiration from the intersection
between the organic and the algorithmic, I decided to take a
macro lens and try to document some of this wealth of
fascinating tiny landscapes and patterns, for later reference
and admiration. Here are some of my favorites.

On July 20, we led a
Phase Shift
video art workshop at a public library in Minneapolis. With
the help of our local artist friends, we were able to set up
six stations for exploration of video feedback with cameras,
processors, and mixers. Since Minneapolis has a thriving a/v
art scene, there was a lot of interest, and many people came
to participate. I also had an amazing time jamming with a
bunch of people the following weekend.
Many thanks to our friends
Shawna Lee,
Erik Tinberg,
Chris LeBlanc, Charles Hainsworth, and others who helped out with things!

On July 1st, we led another
Phase Shift
video art workshop in Iowa City at
Public Space One. I've never been to Iowa City before, so it was quite fun to
meet so many folks there from the experimental art / noise
music scene. We greatly appreciated
PHOSPHENES
for booking the space and hosting us, and everyone who brought
over gear for the workshop. I look forward to visiting again
some time!

In late June, I did a 1-week artist residency with
Andrei Jay
and
Kevin Kripper
as
Phase Shift Collective
at
FEED, a new media art center in Erie, Pennsylvania. We did a live
performance and art installation, and led a video art
workshop. It was an interesting space and location, and we
look forward to visiting again some day to see how this new
space will evolve.
