databit.me #3, the awesome festival in Arles, France that I took part in last year, started again on 23rd October. I’ll be there on 31st October for a small guest performance at the party on 2nd November.
Myself and Axel Debeul will be creating a lot of funk, soul, noise and mess by utilising almost anything that makes any sound. If you happen to be in Arles you should check it out! And if you’re not in Arles already, go visit! It’s a beautiful place.
FRIDAY 29 NOVEMBER | 7PM – LATE Revolution 33 // Bring Your Own Beamer
Vivid Projects’ acclaimed 33 REVOLUTIONS programme concludes this winter with Bring Your Own Beamer..
Armed with projectors, artists are invited to beam responses to Vivid Projects’ eight-month opening season, 33 REVOLUTIONS, onto the walls of the space.
Launched in February 2013, 33 REVOLUTIONS asks the question, can art and popular culture act as a catalyst for social change? The programme has taken audiences on a journey through film, print, performance and song, celebrating personal acts of protest and resistance from the anti-institutional spirit of 1960s-70s Britain right up to the simmering Arab Spring and Occupy!
Thought provoking encounters between new works and archive from 1950s to the present have addressed ways in which filmmakers and artists from a diverse range of cultural situations and societies have protested. For details on the full programme visit: www.vividprojects.org.uk.
You can bring your own beamer too - if you would like to make a response to 33 Revolutions and you have a projector, please fill in the form below.
Deadline is Tuesday 29th October at 23:59. If you’re successful we’ll let you know soon after the deadline!
For further information about taking part please email byobbirmingham@gmail.com or contact us on Facebook.
Bring Your Own Beamer (BYOB) is an international series of one-night exhibitions inviting artists, armed with films and projectors, to convene and explore the art of projection in an immersive environment of moving light, sound and performance. BYOB is an idea originally conceived by Berlin-based artist Rafael Rozendaal.
On Sunday 20th October from 17:30 Lumière will be making its way to The Wig in Birmingham.
If my legs haven’t turned to jelly due to the half marathon I’ll be running earlier (sponsor me plzkthxbai) then myself and (hopefully) Alex Juno will be part of a Q&A after the screening is finished. Feel free to ask some Qs. We’ll provide the As. More info on Thee Eff Bee.
On Saturday 12th October I’ll be in my home town of Leicester once again for the second BYOB Leicester.
This year’s event will have workshops in VDMX, Arduino and other things from 12pm from the likes of Minuek, Sean Clark and Tony Coleman, with the main event kicking off from around 6pm or 8pm. I’ll just be showing various work. Perhaps you can still bring your own beamer if you ask them ;-) More info on the Facebooks and Tumblrs.
