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)…

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.

Company Fuck – “Noise Karaoke Typecore Megamix”
Please enjoy this newly completed video – a destructive collage of music, lyrics, type, and noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXYWL5ciPSQ&hd=1 In 2011 noise artist Company Fuck (or CxFx) was approached by typography artist Indre Klimaite to collaborate on her “Type on Tour” project – described as “contextual typography inside of sound and performance”. As a large part of CxFx’s work deals with various perversions of the ‘art’ of karaoke, they decided to create something like a “singing text…
