Dreams in High Definition and Light Rhythm Visuals on Tour in Japan

I'm going on tour in Japan with Light Rhythm Visuals from October 12th to 27th. I'll be demoing the latest Dreams in High Definition, the brand new and super enhanced version of Electric Sheep. If you would like to arrange a meeting or host a demo session please contact me by email to spot AT draves DOT org. If you are not in Japan but know someone who is who should see this, please send mail too.

Official tour info here. Current schedule below. I'm confirmed to play Ageha the 15th and at the events on the 18th and 19th.

10.15 Ageha — vj performances at mega club
10.18 On@Off — intimate audiovisual play for vjs and artists
10.19 La Fabrique — vip meetings/audiovisual screenings
10.20 Nagoya University Lecture — Pixels for Progress: Using Media Art to Effect Awareness
10.22 Simoon — lightrhythm vs rotunda dance party
10.22 Superdeluxe — macaronique ver.1-underground party
10.29 Club Asia — TBA

The best place to come and see the "Dreams" is probably La Fabrique.

This is really a special trip for me because I spent the summer of 1993 in Tokyo doing research for NTT-Data (yes before cell phones even). After I completed the job my boss Yoko gave me free reign in the lab. My workstation there was a 100Mhz SGI connected to a video disc writer. This was a vastly more powerful computer than I had ever used before, and I had it all to myself. So it was at this time that I completed the version of the fractal flame algorithm that has since taken over my life.

Thank you Yoko and Naka I hope you read this somehow and If you do, drop me a line and let's hook up! Posted by spot at October 10, 2005 01:16 AM
