We're having a tech-themed day- what with the new iPhone software launching and all (um....we are finally showing our true nerd qualities, huh?)
Regardless if you are tech-savvy or not, the cool peeps of the Eyebeam Art + Technology Center hosted a slick event that appealed to techies, artists, and party-animals alike last night. Featuring twelve cutting edge contemporary artist exhibits, it gave a glimpse at how music and art is evolving with new technology - while pumping out music and tons of visual eye candy.
So what's the future look like?
Highlights included The World Series of Tubing, a YouTube card game remixing played in front of a live audience, created by Aaron Meyers & Jeff Crouse. Think you got your poker face right?
ReWare created a rock stage with a cracked iPod lead guitar, iPod bass, iPod turn tables, & iPod drums. (Yeah, just imagine NIN touring with a bad-boy i-pod bass....)
In a performance called Five, multi-disciplinary artist Rashaad Newsome captured the fluid motion of urban dancers performing using real time video processing software.
The walls in the raw space of the Eyebeam warehouse are covered in colorful graffiti, just like we like it.
PSSST The redux of the party, titled MIXER: Version, is slated for this Saturday, June 20. If you're in NY holler at it...
