BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer)" é o nome dado a uma serie de “one-night-exhibitions” organizadas um pouco por todo o mundo. Consiste em juntar num espaço varios artistas visuais, cada um traz o seu projector e enche o espaço e as paredes de luz e imagens.

Esta quarta-feira (8 Junho / 18.30) vai-se efectuar um BYOB no Openfield CreativeLab.

Thanks to all those that braved the cold and made it out to BYOB Stony Brook!

Participants

Margaret Schedel, Yonghoon Kim, Stephen Mcgee, Antonio Roberts, LeeAnne Issaogna, Daniel Weymouth, Matthew Blessing, Katherine Schwarting, Patrick Quinn, Mary Garvey, and Jeanette Yew

During my time in Stony Brook for f(Glitch) I’ll also be curating another BYOB event, taking place on March 4th!

You are invited to join us for the first Bring Your Own Beamer (BYOB) at Stony Brook University. Taking part is easy: just bring your beamer (digital projector) and something to be screened! BYOB is a series of one-night exhibitions where artists are invited to bring their own beamers and explore the medium of projection by creating a collaborative happening of moving light, sound and performance. On March 4th from 20:00 until 23:00 we will fill Union Ballroom and University Cafe at Stony Brook University with artists, each of them armed with their own beamer.

The full lineup for Bring Your Own Beamer Birmingham 2013 has just been announced. This year sees some old favourites return as well as lots of new faces from across the UK. Details below:

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 (BYOB), a one-night celebration of the projected image. Armed with projectors, artists will descend on Vivid Projects’ space in Digbeth to create a collective Revolution #33 through a giant audio-visual environment. Join us for the finale and raise a glass to the revolution - viva the beamer!

On Monday 22nd July I’ll be off to London to take part in a rather special edition of Bring Your Own Beamer (BYOB), which sees the usual barrage of artists project against a backdrop of music from Mark Ronson and others!

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

Although it was over a month ago some videos from BYOB Birmingham have popped up on t’interweb.

The first video is by Richard C

Pete Ashton took all of the photos that exhibitors and attendees took and made this video. The photos are looped at 30fps 6 times over a minute, zooming at 400% each loop.

BYOB Birmingham happened on Friday 16th March and it was a great success! For those who like statistics, in the end the event had 18 artists (plus videos from VIVID’s archives), 22 beamers, and nearly 200 people attend.

My thanks for making the night awesome go to:

• Flatpack Festival, which has been going for six years, for putting on a great festival and allowing BYOB to be part of it
• VIVID, whose amazing gallery space was perfectly suited for this event. There were worries about there being too many cables and causing a power outage due to too many beamers, but the excellent VIVID staff were on hand to make sure it all went swimmingly
• Bobby Bird from Modulate and Gary Judge (aka Arcade) for providing awesome music throughout the night. Many times I received comments about how well the music matched the event. Also, Cylob FTW!
• Shelly Knotts, for being helping me on the day, taking photos, keeping me sane, and for buying me lunch ;-)
• Rafaël Rozendaal, for coming up with the BYOB idea and allowing anyone to do as they wish with it
• The people of Birmingham and West Midlands, for coming out in your hundreds to support the event
• And last, but not least, my thanks go to all of the artists that traveled from all over the country to be part of BYOB Birmingham!

Be sure to check out the artwork from all of the exhibiting artists: Alan Brooker, Ewa Mos, Daisy Hogan, Antonio Roberts, Chris Plant, Modulate, James Warrier, Sarah Rose Allen, Paul Harrison, Kate Spence, Elizabeth Howell, Soraya Fatha, Leon Trimble, Michael Lightborne, Matt Murtagh, Pete Ashton, AAS

Recently I’ve been making a few video loops for Dreambait Recordings to use in their shows. The videos, made using video samples and Pure Data, focus on feedback loops. For BYOB Birmingham on Friday 16th March I decided to showcase these video feedback creations. Some photos of it in action:

The Pure Data patch used to make these visuals, inspired by this patch is pretty simple: Put an object on screen, take a snapshot of the screen and then apply that snapshot as a texture to another object. You can download it below
