Videomorphose does Beamvertising

Videomorphose was called by the guerrilla marketing agency Torke to coordinate the beamvertising action that took place last January, 9th. In one of the biggest rebranding actions seen in Portugal, the new image and logo of the mobile operator Optimus was beamed along the streets of Lisbon and Oporto using several vehicles.

Pika Pika - japanese LEDs Light Draw Pens

Light drawing is a very interesting new way of ephemeral art form and amusement. With very few resources everyone can do light drawing. The Pika Pika collective has some very good videos online in their website. People can also learn how to build light draw pens here.

Another interesting project is HEYA, a collaborative project hosted by Toyota where 500 young, creative people can work with the brand as well as with other members on innovative projects. “HEYA” means “room” in Japanese.Online they exchange conversations and ideas. These conversations and ideas then extend offline via personal or collaborative projects funded by Toyota, but developed and managed by HEYA members themselves. One simple question governs HEYA: “What can we do together?” This project is currently available only in the US.

Cabaret Electronique

Tuatara welcomed last saturday the first Cabaret Electronique party. It began with the upper warm-up Can Can floor, where DJs Who&Undercover welcomed the people with very good minimal/progressive house, followed by italian Dax, all mixed with H-Collective VJs images.

In the meantime the Lido main floor, where I performed, started beating hard with Stereo Addiction, followed by a groovy set by the Cocoon produced Patrick Zigon.

Finally, more than 400 people danced until early morning to Zoo Brazil's progressive sound. The mood was great, the image and marketing were very well made, everybody liked it and the sound was powerful. People, don't give up please :-)

As far as my visuals were concerned, I used two 4.500L beamers diagonally placed, with two v-form thulle strips hanging on the ceiling, a 2.000 beamer behind the DJ and two plasma screens on the side of the DJ booth.

ZON launch party

Yesterday night the former PT Multimedia presented it's new image after the spin off last year. In a day-long event they presented the new image, the new market strategy and the new organisation to the media and collaborators from all over the country.

After dinner, more than 700 people joined the party. DJ Rodrigo guided the night, balancing between soul house, funky brazilian and a little, just a little, commercial stuff.

BBC's 6th anniversary

Last friday BBC celebrated it's 6th anniversary with the usual top production.
The place was packed with (very) beautiful faces and more than 4.500 people dwelled around the two dance floors until early in the morning.

Urban-Projections

Just wanted to leave a very interesting link for a website about urban-projections, with lots of photos, videos and links to several video-graffiters around the globe.

Sydney City Hall promotes videograffiti

Yep, this new kind of art is definetly gaining ground to simple light design.
More and more news about videograffiti are coming from australia, where money seems to go where it matters.

For the second year, Sydney opened some of its landmark buildings to artistic intervention during Christmas time. I still haven't been able to locate the artists that developed the animations.

Check out some of the photos.

Steve Scott's graphics to Led Zeppelin concert

This guy really continues to surprise me. It's illustrative work is damn good, but this motion graphics are great and very well suited to the Kashmere song from the legendary Led Zeppelin.
A great return to the London O2 Concert Arena that I would have loved to see.

Centro Cultural O Século hosts today...

... the live set from Atomic Tour Project (Luis Cardoso-vídeo, Pedro Gil - Laptop/keyboards, João Oliveira - guitar).

A journey into original experimental dance electronic sounds with video collage. Recycled AV live act from our forbidden-to-show "Canção de Lisboa" film-concert.
The music is a development from the originals that we made for the film, and the visuals have nothing to do with it :-)

Rua do Século, 80 - 23h
