Using a combination of hardware and software, I got extreme glitching. Through random coincidence and exact settings, the beta version of Isadora I was using completely glitched out and made this even better than I was trying for. The only way to save the footage for later was to shoot video of the screen. I’ve used this since then as a source clip for visuals.

If you asked what I was working on during the past year, I could probably tell you that I was “working on “The Machine”. While this could sound like a vague reference to “the man” or something of the sort, it was actually a huge collaborative project that I was working on with a bunch of people. This was created for the 2005 Burning Man Festival.

We had people from many professions including contracting, art, realty, party and event creation, shmoozing, welding, computer geekery, audio, engineers, graphic design, multimedia, dance, performance, and some architecture background. This huge structure was community created, community run and used during the event, and then community destroyed at the end of the event.

Arson Island Resort was a huge camp composed of mostly Seattle people, with some San Fran thrown in for good measure.
