Check this site for this guy who has a restored set of the Showbiz Pizza animatronic band and is choreographing recent songs with the setup. He’s taking bids for new songs to program new choreography which he videotapes and puts on youtube.

http://www.masswerk.at/6502/disassembler.html. I used this today while restoring an artwork from the 80’s.

I’m performing tomorrow at the opening of the Dallas Video Festival. The festival includes work by a bunch of awesome people, read Tom Moody’s writeup about it.

This will probably be my last Tree Wave performance for quite a while because I’m changing out my setup. Although I’m still using the 8bit gear, I will probably not be performing with it any more. I’m now focusing on the sample-based PC software that I started writing a while back, which I wrote about here and Tom Moody interviewed me about here . I’m actively working on adding the features I need to make an album with it. I have short sample of the latest output from the program online here

I meant to blog this earlier, but I have two pieces in the current show at CANADA in New York. It’s my Work Desktop prints which I’ve shown before, and a new piece called One frame of a GIF animation printed and hung above a video projection of the same animation scaled to approximately 66%. Installation image below, and the original animation is here.

As of today, my Frozen Myspace Login Page is no longer convincing.
