what or I mean wait no

This year I wanted to use the video/animation material that I had originally prepared for the NBN2019 show that was rained out. A showreel is provided below that gives a sense of the material. Plenty of new animations were added including material from HPBEHB and words things. Much of the audio that I used can be found on the albums listed below. This event was meant to be a bit of a showcase where I was remixing/live composing all the of the audio that I have produced over the past three years while playing bits of video/animation from the same period along with it.

While this was going on, participants were welcome to draw whatever they wanted on the ‘incrediblobs snorkagizer’ artwork that I had taped to a white board and set up against the fence facing the sidewalk. You can see the results below – I am pleasantly suprised. The audio and visuals I was playing and projecting were meant to influence the participants in their creative activity and I note on the ‘incrediblobs artwork’ page where this is apparent.

The weather was great – perfect temperature, no bugs, no wind, and of course, no rain. I managed to have a quick look at some of the surrounding installations as well as see some from a distance and overall it was truly spectacular, interesting, innovative, truly creative, and fun. It was also well attended. I am so happy to be a part of this yearly festival (and as you can see from the NBN main page on this website, I have been in every single show since the beginning). This was a great way to emerge from the pandemic.

Look through the pdf proposal for more details on what I am attempting to accomplish in this work – there are more aspects not covered here. The theme of this show was ‘connections’ and there is a way that this artwork functions as a network, albeit a very imaginary or conceptual one but it is there nonetheless! Egads!¹
