Johnny Lee shows you how to calibrate monitor for projection

Recently, there is a lot of stuff i have been coming across on video projection and holographic imaging. since the election night in the US, the world must have gone mad trying to decipher the projection for event and for self engagement. along the line of visual art and visualist, the movement of visual perception and display for visual have become some what more then a phenomenology. The are more as expected as we see the culture of youtube and smart device will continue to make people strung awe in the motion and visual world.

Keith Evans and Dylan Bolles performed a piece called “breath transit and the peal of night”. The mixture of cinematic experimental and sound performances. Dylan Bolles is a composer of the eastern form of musical and instrumental performer, at the moment Dylan Bolles is a Research assistant at the UC Davis doing a Korean translation on the cultural and formal oral narrative from the form of ancient Korean Shamanist ritual roots. He does sound/theatre performances.

Keith Evans, is the projectionist and a sound designer for the experimental cinematic light on shadow. The piece in the performance was like water, ocean, land and landscape. The Asian Shamantic sound and the found footage of the Video8, was like a train ride back into the past, east and western realism, with a non-descriptive way to experience the visual and non-visual. A rolling copper drum, spinning out the tread of imaginary.

First Quicktime was a recording of the performance, and the second Quicktime was a conversation with Keith Evans.

Note: The Performance was held at the Luggage Store on Market Street & 6th Ave, San Francisco.

In the indent of identifying the meaning in computer music, Ge Wang, assistant professor at the CCRMA at Stanford will recreate the Orchestra once again with different artists, musicians and engineers.

Today, thanks to photographer of Slap Magazine, Joe Brook: was one of the most exciting day of my life, although I might not have shown it. I was very happy. I visited the San Francisco based Thrasher Magazine office. The compound also includes Slap Magazine and Juxtapoz Magazine. These three independent US magazines can be said or set as the foundation of the representation of the cultural heroes of the cult and underground generation for the Great American youth movement. The foremost skate/art/culture/skate generation for many of you and me growing up to finding the pleasure of reading the oldest, longest running skate magazine on the planet.

Thrasher Magazine is the hour of our generation of skater’s life in bread and bread crumbs. Life without Thrasher would be a lie; world without this magazine, would not be rebirth. And there after.

Slap Magazine is the ween hours of alternative skate cultural artifacts. A first to showcase skate, music and the rest, is just history.

Juxtapoz Magazine is a world where underground artists meet art movement, first across west coast, east coast and many times around the world. As the world of underground artists moved upward and into the mainstream, artists moved underground.

In the next week or two, I will be digging, mining and data escaping back to Hong Kong. Still posting from wherever I might be, or almost famous I might become, in the matrix somewhere.

An infographic, on the declaration of human rights movement. Interesting use of typography and motiongraphics.

This is a new beta test software for audio and VJ, it can play back Quartz Composer, using functions and edits to tweak the clips, also support all Quicktime and Swf files. It is SD and HD, plus FX processing, mixer that has audio supports as well. I have used it for performance of visual but not yet audio. It is a slower performing software, in it Modus Operandi compare to Modul8 but the midi support is far for advanced, for quick support of scanning midi device: in my opinion, that is.

The Beta is stable for a full performance. And I enjoy tweaking the Quartz Composer effect, my next attempt would be using audio in part of the performance as well.

Another function for the software is the allowance to loadup website and pages, although during my testing, the performance was a bit unstable.

Overall, I would rate this software 7.5 out of 10, which is pretty good. link here
