open_digi > AROUND US > post BRADYS

Hi Rhizome_Raw people,

with eviction of its residents on August 5th, BRADYS of Brixton is over as venue of open_digi in South London for foreseeable future

small mov at http://club.net-art.ws/bradys/video/vid.html

but we can say we did the old building justice at its 'LAST STAND' with a diverse night lasting till dawn of digital sounds and visuals plus presentations. The main space even had new coat of paint (just dry) + three large projections.

evening kicked off (slightly late but its getting better) with a stomping run through of the activities of http://www.urban75.com from its editor Mike Slocombe followed by insights into the work of http://www.hi-res.net from Florian Schmitt. After some recalcitrant behaviour from a particular computer we then got into a great session of sounds mostly chosen by toxi of http://www.toxi.co.uk with visuals from toxi, elout of http://www.xs4all.nl/~elout/ from Amsterdam and myself. Finally at 7.30am last of audience were persuaded that they should let us pull the plugs …

thanks to all who attended and all who contributed and for sure made us feel like we had put our time at BRADYS to best use

if any body has any record of August 2nd > "AROUND US", images or whatever, could they please pass them to us as all cameras etc examined so far malfunctioned one way or another

SO now we are busy checking out possible new homes for open_digi, hopefully remaining in South London, ways to pay for people to visit us etc. We have the interest for some great programmification for winter, "bcn error special" where errorclub of barcelona will pay us a visit with work including sutoolz http://seamonkey.mle.ie/nime/Proceedings/paper/porcher.pdf, and something that will be part edible from Montpellier, France, http://laurenrodz.free.fr/eox/siteg/, a night of slub.org from across the river + much more. Any help and suggestions welcome

applications are invited for post of MC for future editions of open_digi

meantime we can suggest you can keep yourselves entertained online by checking out ongoing digital thrashes in the rounds of infomera.net series > champions of the WWW > http://www.museotamayo.org/inmerso/infomera/ > next up I think is one38.org v kalx.com. On September 13th at Cyberlounge of Museo Tamayo, Mexcio City will also be some talks and discussion (non-virtually) on subject of net-art spaces (including story of http://www.net-art.ws, net-art99>01 and open_digi so far).

yours
atty
