Remix

by Alex Hetherington, 11 Aug 2008

I was emailing Lucy Keany, Edinburgh based performance and video artist, and she articulated something that is central to Mineral Park: the live composition, sampling, remixing, At last I am an art DJ. More on remixes soon.

And guess what? I am to appear on the BBC, interviewed for the performance project at EIF. Is the TV world ready for my overly complicated mish-mash mind? I sense a simplification of materials, methods and outcomes developing. Restraint, a new word has entered my vocabulary.

Thought for the day: Superbad artist/Falkirk Supercollider.

Today, the Village Voice team will work with me on building the web site, suggestions for a web site name are very welcome. Add a comment if you can think of something memorable and extraordinary.

Update

vvfalkirk seemed to have some resonance
villagevoicefalkirk was too long
callendarparkvillagevoice seemed too preposterous
the-voice may already be taken

Anyway we built an animation in Flash and a rough layout of the site itself, so hold on and we’ll have the online edition uploaded in double-quick time. It was a computer lab in there with four Macs going and flipping between Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop and Imageready. Quite cool.
