Jeff Mission and Chris Korda performing live with the visual software tools WiiWhorld and Fractice. Fractice is used to create the background layer, while WiiWhorld is being controlled in the foreground – the two layers were lumakeyed together with an Edirol V4 video mixer.

Chris Korda and I will be doing a live performance of WiiWhorld at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge on Friday, March 6th.  The event runs from 10pm – midnight, and also includes performances by Peter Kirn, Joshue Ott, and Morgan Packard.

The wonderful people (and talented VJs) of Eyewash in New York have been gracious enough to have me out to perform three times over the years.  Eyewash is a performance night where VJs take center stage – literally, you stand in the middle of the room, surrounded by four giant screens and audience members on all sides.  Here are links to my performances, from the Forward Motion theater website:

Eyewash: Fixation

Eyewash: A Good Friday
