On 13th and 14 July I was down in London with two other members of Freecode to perform at The reUNION in Southwark, London. Although there’s a description of the venue on the website, it still pleasantly surprised me  upon arrival

A quick read on their website reveals that this site has been used by EXYZT (the people who built The reUNION) several times and has housed an orchard and Lido, amongst other things. Construction started on this project in June 2012 as part of the London Festival of Architecture

Despite being right beneath a railway bridge the space felt very homely and welcoming!

Due to various things the Freecode performance didn’t happen as planned, but myself and Alan did provide visuals for some of the parties in The Washing Machine Club (their cube-shaped club). Thanks to the EXYZT collective for their hospitality!

There’s some more photos from myself and Big Richard C

Sunday 15th was brilliant

BYOB is coming around again, only this time I’m not organising it (although I am “supporting” it)! BYOB Leicester will take place at the Fabrika Independent Arts Centre (map) on Saturday 4th August

I’ll be “beamering” video work all night, though I’ve yet to decide what video I’ll show. I might even show something new!

They’re still looking for other people to beam, so be sure to apply. Deadline is 24th July 23:59

On Friday 13th July I’ll be performing with Freecode at The reUNION in London from around 6pm

The reUNION is a new Public House, in the spirit of the 1830 Beer Act in which anyone could apply for a licence and open up their front room to the public, to sell – and even brew – beer from their own home.

It’s all free and will be going on till about 22:30. Directions can be found here, although it’s a 5 minute walk from Southwark or Borough Tube station, so should be easy to find

as part of the Kickstarter we launched last year for GLI.TC/H 20111 we offered various physical media from different artists as incentives, these ranged from DVDs to VHS tapes to NES cartridges. One such incentive was conceived by Morgan Higby-Flowers and Jeff Donaldson (aka noteNdo) and curated/produced by Jeff Donaldson and myself (Nick Briz). This was a 20GB Engraved HDD with worx (and often source files) from an array of glitch artists. Because only 9 (for kickstarter supporters) of these were produced, no one (including the artists who donated their files) really got a chance to see these.

The list: Kim Asendorf Nick Briz Curt Cloninger Arcangel Constantini Cracked Ray Tube Theo Darst Jeff Donaldson Jake Elliot Jimmy Joe Roche Ronan Letoqueux Rosa Menkman and Johan Larsby Iman Moradi Takeshi Murata Antonio Roberts Jon Satrom Sherpa Phillip Stearns Daniel Temkin UCNV Vaudeo Signal

I almost forgot about these being made, so thanks to Nick Briz/GLI.TC/H for taking photos and a video.

It’s been so long that I can’t fully remember what I contributed to the HDD, but whatever it was I hope the nine people with one of these enjoy it!
