Interactive Video and Bad Machines

On Wednesday, June 7, Fishbon Event Lab opeatives picked up where they left off last week-- taking parts liberated from a failed office copier and using them to create indisputably Bad Machinery. While some looked impressive, a panel of technical experts confirmed that none of the devices could be expected to serve any practical use whatsoever. In fact, the suggestion was made that none of the teams return to the drawing board. Later in the evening the crew caravanned to the Pescadrome, Fishbon's new studio and performance space in Santa Barbara. There they were greeted by an impressive montage of Interactive Video Projections developed by Wes, Lance, Graham and Mad Dog as part of UCSBs Media Arts and Technnology graduate program. The custom software processed video feeds and the result was a stream of audio and video that changed with user input.
