Good ‘ol Super8 film/sound manipulation performance. And done how it should be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYyPfxC3LAE.
Botborg’s original DVD “Principles of Photosonicneurokinaesthography” (2005) is now available to stream: To download: https://archive.org/details/Botborg_Principles_of_Photosonicneurokinaesthography DVD download link: https://archive.org/download/Botborg_Principles_of_Photosonicneurokinaesthography/Botborg_Principles_of_Photosonicneurokinaesthography.iso (for some reason this file doesn’t show up on the archive.org file list above) Enjoy.
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)…
Lovely noise with Rutt object extractions. (thanks to Luc Van Weelden) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De4DWMyQBfU.
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.
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.
