Hacking a multi sensory centre

October 23, 2012 in news, projects by Ben

We had a fab time at the weekend with over 60 people coming through the door at MySensability in Bury for their huge ‘light night’. We decided to create temporary live interactive visuals using iPhones and iPod Touches as remote camera/body triggers using open source software and a little specialist VJ’ing software. We also had enough good old fashioned bluetooth speaker technology to open our own Maplins! It was great just to turn up and through collaboration with the owners and feeling the vibe of the venue (plus awareness of the needs of individuals with autism) we integrated a range

Hacking the audience

May 10, 2012 in hacking by admin

For a number of years we have been experimenting with technology in the hope to blur the lines between audience and performer at the regular bITjAM sonic events.

Early preparation for DATfest

October 3, 2010 in DATfest by admin

After a fab public meeting for the first digital media festival in Stoke-on-Trent we’ve got our offer ready for the bITjAM part of the programme. We are going to ‘recycle’ unwanted audio and video clips submitted by the public. This recycling will include collecting the clips and mashing them in a live performance. The idea came from our mashups through the residency at Shop-Stoke. These AV clips will be the type of clips where the video is out of focus, suffering the effects of ‘shakey-cam’, or audio is damaged in some way. These are the clips you would normally delete,
