Electronic Evangelicals
Super busy two weeks. Shooting. Editing. Shooting. Editing. Shooting. Editing. C’est amusant.
On Friday, I covered a super interesting performance by three groups of electronic media artists working with various forms of audio-visual experimentation. The projections were shown on a trio of huge screens in a decommissioned church on Cumberland in Ottawa. This was part of the Electric Fields festival that I mentioned in my last post. As described in the festival program “In electrovideoacoustics, the audio and video are not simply synchronized to each other, but are two indistinguishable mediums emerging as one: the video is the sound.”
More photos to come but here’s a snap from a supreme performance by Squelchbox (Ottawa) and Carrie Gates (somewhere in Saskatchewan). Great venue.
For the last performance, offered by Tvestroy from Montreal, was not only on the huge screens but also on a collection of 6 TV screens. Watching the audience sit still in the church pews as though they were listening to a sermon. Seriously, most people were so still and well behaved.
Somewhat surprising if you watch this video I took on my phone. Epileptics and people easily frustrated by noise and flashing lights should think twice before hitting “play”. My hope is that your second thought will be to in fact hit play. Do it!
