Andy Heck Boyd – embalming fluids
It’s late. I shouldn’t be on the internet now. Note to future parents of the world: you should warn your children about doing such things. https://vimeo.com/30567357.

The Superusers – first anaglyph 3D performance
This is a live camera recording of the first anaglyph 3D stereoscopic audio-visual performance from The Superusers. Audience members were given red/cyan glasses in order to fully experience the computer-generated 3D interaction. The 3D effect is largely lost in this live recording (3D glasses are not essential to watch it), however the futuristic style and synaesthetic dynamic of the performance is still represented. The performance is completely improvised. Recorded at l’Embobineuse (Marseille, France)…
Woody Vasulka & Brian O’Reilly – Scan Processor Studies
Lovely noise with Rutt object extractions. (thanks to Luc Van Weelden) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De4DWMyQBfU.
Spaceballs State Of The Art Amiga Demo
Some old-school Amiga computer music/graphics here. I’m told that this used to be distributed on a single floppy disk… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPSst20JEcE.
Threee Geniuses
Threee Geniuses combine a lot of weirdo stuff that I would usually consider ‘really fun’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A78kLqA-h0 Like high-pitched voices and camera feedback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JqBS07Ucb8.
Captain Ahab – The Kingdom of Light
Awesome band. Brutal video. https://vimeo.com/28328973 More of Lawrence’s video work: https://lawrenceklein.net/.
Botborg – To Bypass a Sensory Roadblock
In the past Botborg has sort to cautiously invite its audience into a mostly pleasurable and collusive audio-visual environment. “To Bypass a Sensory Roadblock” is, however, no such invitation. Rather, it is a sort of televisual strangulation that seeks to engulf the viewer in a swift takeover of sound-color calamity. A new phase of evolution beckons our arrival. Time to remove the ‘blocks’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vkhvMZtSkc&hd=1.
Botborg – Biofeedback in Simulation
Part of Botborg’s work concerns the induction of new mental states by the means of repeated exposure to machine-aided synaesthetic media. “Biofeedback in Extended Simulation” is an abstract exploration into a sound-color world where glitches transform into rhythms and interruptions come to consume our focus. Reactions to this simulation can be unpredictable.

Aspec(t) + 70fps feat. Andy Guhl
Super noisy-glitcho-rama performance from the Italian underground. (Caution! Contains abrasive sound frequencies, stroboscopic projections, and dizzying camera work). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydu2-O-HhfI.
Masaaki Yuasa – Mind Game (2004)
This film is a great mix of constantly changing animation styles. And this ‘changing trick’ is used to it’s full effect when the protagonist meets ‘God’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz7vuwj3AlE Although the animation is wild and wonderful, while watching Mind Game I started to wish that the music was somehow more integrated into the film. This scene remedied this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqwsdcYReMU.
