Hand-scratched DJ names into undeveloped film with an awl, then scanned. Then collaged with J.’s film scans of Northern California botanicals.

concept for rudy’s party

another hard one – eostre has felt like a struggle for me. even though we took last year off, i don’t feel a lot of joy in what i’m doing; mostly i want to support my gf. ppl gave me a few directions and i tried to go with those and it turned out those weren’t very clear concepts (even for those that suggested it). i reviewed past moodboards about birth and was inspired by a few midwife lithographs, which often had fanciful representations of the inside of the uterus, or sometimes just a dismbodied pelvis, and hands reaching into pull a fetus out, or sometimes a baby pushing its hand out through the vaginal aperture. ...

we love a gradient map. image and tie taken by me of a. at ropeburnsf.

second a/v hack night was also cute. honed in a little on structure. the energy of ppl all working on projects together has been really nice. this flyer is after a throbbing gristle (cassette?) cover. next time i’m planning on having a signin sheet so people don’t have to do a verbal intro, but we’ll do a verbal checkin.

started this salon format where folks get together and work on their a/v projects. right now it’s very small/word of mouth and people work on track production or visuals (touchdesigner, hydra, processing). i do minor facilitation around coaxing people into sharing but other than that it’s pretty informal; a lot of sitting around on one’s laptop. we do a show-and-tell via projector at 9:30p and then people are welcome to hang out and work further on their projects. ...

Played more with smart objects (making an ink bleed effect) for the side text here, as well as applying color as adjustment layers instead of adding them in the image. Also quantitatively measured contrast and adjusted to meet minimum WCAG guidelines.
