Currently I'm working on Red Bull's, "Art of Can" videos of the artist's submissions. These were shot on green screen and rotated 360 degrees. The final videos will be up on the Red Bull site by the end of the month.
The actual Art of Can show begins mid July.

May 22nd Harvey Milk Bust unveiling at San Francisco City Hall. We are setting up screens, projectors and live camera feeds of the event. City Hall can be a tricky venue to install with so many restrictions. White gloves and slippers for this event.

May 24th. Skills edt. POP 08 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. 18,000+ kids, Tiesto and Ferry Headlining, 5 rooms of diverse music and we are handling 4 rooms of visuals. The main room will have 30x40' screen with additional LED video panels and Plasmas. All the other rooms will have a unique look.

July 19th Glow Santa Monica
Very rarely do I ever perform in my hometown, even here I'm not really performing. However, I have been commissioned by the city of Santa Monica to create a installation for the all night glow festival. Kinda like Nuit Blanche in Paris, the city of Santa Monica is going to party all night now. I will be using a gold fish to perform for me. Thanks right, Goldie3 will trigger the live visuals that will be projected on the store front windows of Tengu Sushi on Ocean Ave. From Dust to Dawn.

In 2004 Tech TV came to one of our video Salons and interviewed us about a segment on video art. They also covered our annual Video Riot.
Video Riot takes Video Salon outside (across the street literally) onto the side of a building in downtown San Francisco. Lasers, projection, slide projection, lighting and liquid lights all are projecting on the building. Across the street at the Dimension 7 studio DJ's spin music and pump it out to all the car stereos via a 1 watt transmitter.
This might best be watched without the audio.
I left it on there for nostalgia.
There is also a clip of Red Bull's Ascension in this video. Ascension was a celebration of underground dance culture art.
