Well well, the last night’s gig was just as fun as I anticipated. Magnus Zinmark played a crossover DJ set of spy jazz, samba, hip hop and electro, and my colourful pseudoanalog looking visuals seemed to back that up really plausibly. This is an audiovisual connection I would like to investigate further, so if anyone […]

This will come with an extremely short notice (since I didn’t know it myself three hours ago) but it is still probably worth mentioning that I’ll be doing some visuals for DJ Magnus Zingmark (KOOP) at UMO Jazz House tonight from 22:00 to 03:00. The music should be jazz combined with electronic music which sounds […]

I’ve returned from piksel.no at Norway and the spirits are high. The very openness of the open source community was an eye-opener and I’ll try to contribute to that scene in the future. Greetings fly out to all the people I met, it was interesting talking to you. Check out piksel’s software page for many […]

The gig autumn already seemed alarmingly quiet, but just recently we were invited to perform at piksel04 in Bergen, Norway, where Antti S’s programmed visual fripperies will be joined by the amfiphile media artist Teemu K. The pair aims at exploring the boundaries between software and art and will exhibit a one hour VJ performance […]

The Koneisto festival, ISEA 2004 and flow’04 festival are finally done with and the Pseudotoad crew is feeling justifiedly exhausted. Two weeks, six gigs and one Baltic cruise with multimedia posse is a lot to handle - plus Antti S even managed to release a couple of demos at Assembly 2004 at the […]

Just updated a diversified bunch of upcoming gigs to our calendar. Why not audit them?

Plenty of interesting projects running over and about the net: check the open source dynamics engine ODE; the small realtime render engine with audio analysis, Fluxus (whose aesthetics surprisingly resemble Antti S’s figurines, possibly because they use very similar techniques); and […]

Antti S, Markku Reunanen and Jarkko Rotstén decided to hack together a demonstration for Amiga-AGA (receiving additional help from Yrjö Fager and Petri Isomäki), and a VJ esque bravura of black and white catastrophie clips emerged! Called Chrysler, it placed first at Motorola Inside 2004. Versions for various platforms as well as a video available […]

Scene.org has posted the combined jury comments on all the Awards 2003 winners. Here is what they had to say about Yellow Rose:

“A short yet powerful performance, displaying an expert use of attractive colors and camera view points. One of the best examples of generative code, as it cleverly makes one single effect interact […]

An automated version of the Weathermatrix-software will be displayed in the Master of Arts exhibition of University of Art and Design Helsinki. Date & time 30.4.2004 from 19:30 onwards, location Korjaamo near Raitiovaunumuseo in Töölö, Helsinki. Not actually a graduation work of anyone, but the work was invited anyway.

The Yellow Rose of Texas won this year’s scene.org awards for the best 4k intro. Head to their site for brief results.
