>> Pictures of my work from the evening...
The evening allowed me to hark back to the digital style I was so loving at the end of 2009 before I got caught up in all this live-art malarky! But in all seriousness it was great fun to promote this work live in front of an audience as it is such fun to create - and doing it live with people from the audience allowed me to really engage and entertain.
>> Before/after...
The idea was to take pictures of people as they walked in and transform (or mutate!) their faces before their very own eyes digitally on my laptop - with my work being projected live onto a large drop down screen on the stage and various TVs around the Winchester Pub. It worked a treat as in between the music it allowed people to have a real laugh with their mates face getting destroyed over a casual pint.
Here is a stop motion video of the other 'headlining artist' from the night Seb Pape doing his thing...a rather beautiful rendition of his illustration blasted up large on a wall in full technicolour paint brushing. Cheekily you can just about see a couple of screens showing my work...more pictures will hopefully come of this event - but without my camera it was hard to properly document the evening. Big shame...will have to rely on Facebook.
It gave me a real appetite to do it again some time in the near future...but the future of Moon Street must lay in helping to promote other local talent too.
