VJ gear for sale

djnomad — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 05:34:12 GMT

I'm selling my Edirol V4 that I've had for almost 1 year.
And my Toshiba tdp-tw90a projector with 3 ft extension ceiling mount
and Gator case. Bulb has 150 hours on it, so lots left.
I thought I would be doing more with it but I
want to get a DV cam instead for film projects
so they must go!
The mixer is in pristine condition with the box and original
papers,warranty etc..
The projector has all papers and warranty but no original box.
All for $1800...
will split up too..

KLab9 Call for Contributions

synnovemathe — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 00:32:03 GMT

KLab9 Call for Contributions
From KnowledgeLab
KLab9:Art - Technology, Authorship and Ways of Living
A weekend gathering for collaborative and creative reflection. 5th - 7th October, 2007 tbc.
Institute for Advanced Studies, Lancaster University, North West England.

INTRODUCTION

The Knowledge Lab is an attempt to provide a collective space for anti-capitalist reflection. It is located at the margin of the university, an institution essentially geared towards the production of knowledge as a resource for corporate interest and as justification for particular constellations of power relations.
This knowledge lab will address art and ways of critically thinking about our world. Within this broad region of enquiry, the lab will encompass notions of life and art as a political commitment, the influence art can exert in politics and how political ideas in turn influence art. It will also address new ways of making art and how this relates to technologies and social changes, and the use of art as an anti-capitalist means to change and fight the system.

We hope that the knowledge lab will not merely address, but also show that art can initiate critical thinking in the various guises outlined above. Our expectations, in terms of the event, and its outcome, are that this be a sharing of creative ideas and ideas about creativity. We hope that it will draw together people with a common interest in art and alternative ways of living, but working in different fields. From this collective thinking we hope that people will be incited to realize, or make manifest, some of these ways of living and thinking creatively when they leave: We will learn from each other.

STREAMS

Like previous knowledge labs the day will be divided into four streams, each will take place in a separate room.

STREAM 1: TECHNOLOGY Free software, art spaces and interfaces, hardware, DIY and recycling/reusing.

STREAM 2: WAYS OF LIVING This stream concerns process, moment and performance. It is the political stream where we will consider primarily imaginative resistance and artivism, but also touch on debates surrounding gender issues, community and cultural production, and personal/political. We hope to see papers touching on initiatives in direct democracy; the art of changing that system, and the paradigms of inspiration. We would like to discuss how artivism will change society, possibles networks of artivists, ways of action.

STREAM 3: AUTHORSHIP Copy rights, ownership, patenting, and appropriation. (Creative commons, Copyleft,...)

STREAM 4: THE ART MARKET (new ways of) curating, spaces (physical and virtual) to show art, ways of making money: Marketing, the means of production, market forces and anti-market forces, the art market, and art and ethics.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Each day will be split into two parts. On Saturday and Sunday morning papers will be presented in each of the four streams, each lasting 20-30 minutes. Papers will be followed by a brief question period of 10-15 minutes. The afternoon will be divided into discussion periods in each of the four streams. During the weekend there will also be a separate space for workshops and performances.
There are therefore a variety of ways to contribute to the weekend. See below for details:

ACADEMIC PAPERS

The list of streams is not prescriptive, it simply outlines some of the issues we envisage arising given the general themes.

Please also send papers on other themes, these will be gratefully considered.

Submit an abstract of no more than 500 words. In addition please enclose a brief biography. Try to make this, along with your paper, as accessible as possible.

FACILITATED DISCUSSIONS (INVOLVEMENT AND SKILLS SHARING)

If you have an idea for one of the afternoon discussion topics that links in with one of the four streams then send in a your idea and think about one of the two types of involvement below:

If you'd like to take a more pro-active role during the conference, you might want to ADOPT a session - that is, prepare it in advance (suggest questions, main issues, reading material etc and propose the length of the session), arrive prepared for discussion themselves, attend it, and participate passionately in the debates.

We also need people to FACILITATE sessions - ideally a session should NOT be adopted and facilitated by the same person(s). Consider that facilitators are usually best if experienced in their task. Any which way, please get in touch.

== WORKSHOPS, ARTWORKS, AND PERFORMANCES ==

These will broadly tie in with one of the four streams above. Send a proposal [Max: A single side of A4], elaborate on: What your contribution will be e.g. a workshop, a performance, an artwork. How long you envisage it taking. Do you need any equipment or materials? Do you want to limit the number of participants? If so, how many? What do you hope will be born out of this? How do you propose to arrive at this end?

SATURDAY EVENING

DJ and VJ session: Call for DJs and VJs to send in samples so they might come and contribute to an evening of art in many guises. As well as other music, visual, perfomance, etc artist and Artivist.
Nb. Groups are welcome to contribute workshops, materials for display and/or distribution.

INFORMATION

Anybody is welcome to attend the weekend, get involved in the discussions, and take part in the workshops. HOWEVER, YOU NEED TO REGISTER TO ATTEND AS THE EVENT IS LIMITED TO 100 PEOPLE, SO PLEASE GET IN TOUCH: klab9art@googlemail.com

DEADLINE FOR ALL PROPOSALS May 1st 2007

Amy, Ana and Synnove

COSTS AND PRACTICALITIES

Freekin’ The Ultra’- Bassnectar CD Release partay- NYC Oct 7th

ky — Sat, 17 Sep 2005 06:31:36 GMT

NYC Oct. 7th- Freek Factory and Disorient present
“Freeking The Ultra” a celebration of Bassnectar’s
anticipated double disc release Mesmerizing The Ultra.

The Brooklyn-based up-and-coming production team Freek Factory
hosts the NYC return of Bassnectar (Lorin Ashton) on Oct.
7th, joined by an international and bi-coastal cadre of
dance floor destroyers, for an epic affair celebrating the
release of his double CD tour de force.

From undulating midtempo beats to cut up hyp-hop; driving
breakbeat to sultry downtempo, angelic melodics meet
bassline perversion on Mesmerizing the Ultra. Stellar
production coincides with a strong political awareness;
demonstrating an unwavering dedication to underground
subversion. The list of collaborators and remixes on the
album include Freq Nasty, Buckethead, KRS One, Mumia Abu
Jamal, Noam Chomsky, STS9, Kraddy, Sayr and Kang from the
String Cheese Incident as well as a host of talented
underground MCs and producers. Freek Factory is proud to host the official New York City debut of this exciting new material.

In their outlandish freak style and for one night only,
the Freek Factory posse will transform 251 West 30th
Street (formerly Downtime) into a heathen’s den of
outerworldly delights. Resident creatrix Sequoia
Emmanuelle will add her vaunted space beautification
skills to the effort. Tiggrrr Fearless and the ever vital Freek
Factory Dancers will be afoot to aid in the instigation
of delightful madness, shrouded in the crafted couture of
Boring Inc. and the radical hair creations of Dana Divine.

Freshly back from Black Rock City, Nevada, Disorient will add
a Glam-tech sensibility to the production as only they
can, bending your perceptions with inflatables and things
that go blink in the night. SF based visual artist Satsi
will send the event into orbit with his mind-altering
optical magic.

Joining Bassnectar on the main floor is very special guest The All Good Funk Alliance, championing the Nu-Funk sound emerging from D.C. and presently making big waves amongst the global beat cognoscenti.
Resident FF DJs Haj, Sunder, JP001 and Spyro Sound System (Live
PA) will all be on hand, along with other special guest DJs Rhythmystic, The Bass, Orion, Wavewhore, and Sean Infinitee. AtoMicDoG, Zapper and The Drop In Posse (France) will be performing very special live PA sets as well. (The DIP will be collecting donations of clothes and

Tribe Name Change -- Please Note

dhruva — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 14:48:40 GMT

Dear Friends -- please note that the tribe previously known as Dhamaal NYC is now called Sub Swara (subswara.tribe.net) to more precisely reflect the event in NYC with which it is linked. Dhamaal is presenting the Sub Swara monthly which launches August 11 at the Sullivan Room. Look forward to seeing you there! Bass- fueled beats, global rhythm and melody, live percussion, and turntablism will be in full effect...

More info coming soon.

BBC Radio 1 Premiere of Dhruva's Asian Dub Foundation Remix Today!!

dhruva — Wed, 13 Jul 2005 16:41:50 GMT

Today (07.13), BBC Radio 1's Bobby Friction and Nihal will be featuring Dhruva’s (from Dhamaal) remix of the mighty Asian Dub Foundation’s “Warring Dhols” taken from their latest album, Tank (9PM-11PM UK time) .

The “Supah Charge” Remix takes the track into new territories of tempo and squelching bass while paying sincere homage to ADF, pioneers in hard-hitting, bin-shaking politically conscious Asian sounds. Tune in and check it out!

Don’t worry if you miss the live broadcast as the show will be up for a week.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/urban/bobbyandnihal/

Also, stay tuned for the full rundown on Get Worldly (July 29th in SF) and the launch of Dhamaal NYC (August 11)! Keep it locked...
