Spacing Ottawa launch party

Last week Deb and I performed a dj/vj set (as The Latest Artists) at the Spacing Ottawa launch party at Cube Gallery .
Dawghaus Studios put a video together of the event featuring some of our music, video, and performance — along with Spacing-related content, too, of course

CLR Podcast

My 2nd Arudino project

As the only electronic artists in the show, we built a triptych of animated light boxes representing the stars of Orion’s [...]
