“Handmade Electronic Music” is a wonderful publication documenting both historical and current DIY techniques and aesthetics. Botborg is humbled to be mentioned in a section entitled ‘Pixel Artists’ authored by LoVid and Jon Satrom. https://www.handmadeelectronicmusic.com/culture.htm …
Botborg is very lucky to receive this ‘remix’ by Chicago-based audio-visual artists Vaudeo Signal – Ben Baker-Smith + Evan Kühl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm40-6G8r7c We received this video on a physical USB stick when we revisited Chicago in 2015. It contained this message: Greetings Botborg, We, Vaudeo Signal, Evan Kühl and Ben Baker-Smith, have been mining similar veins with similar equipment to yours since early 2010. When we saw your set at the Gene Siskel Film…
Botborg live in Portland, OR, USA. Super fun show! https://vimeo.com/120996761.
A longer look at the Botborg installation ‘Neural Luminance Amplifier’ which came to life earlier this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wcKhRdpLtU.
Here are some highlights from the Botborg installation for 3 x projectors currently exhibiting in Canberra, Australia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tkLZ7opKX0.
Botborg video interview for Festival Gamerz (Aix-en-provence, France. October 2013). I think they wanted good/interesting answers, but I was mainly making jokes and eating chocolate, so thanks to the editing team for making me look better than I was. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x169zo8_gamerz-09-botborg_creation.

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.
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.
