Last night Kiche and I met up with Schuyler and Masha and went to see my friend Haeyoung perform at the Remote Lounge. The Remote Lounge is a club in the east village that has remote video cameras everywhere with a live feed to several TV screens. In addition, there are several little stations set up where people can control various cameras by switching channels while viewing them on a screen. There is also a phone at the station, where you can signal other stations that you are watching and have a conversation with another person. Add random strangers and alcohol, and you have the makings of an interesting evening. To complete the atmosphere are video monitors displaying digital art along with the electronic sounds of various sound artists.
My friend Haeyoung is a musician/sound artist who specializes in digital music. She uses a computer, various software, and even has two gameboys with special cartridges that produces some interesting sounds. I hope to collaborate with her by making a short animation with my gameboy camera and having her do the soundtrack with her gameboy music.
I am going to include more pictures from last night in the responses section. Also, you can check out the Remote Lounge's
