<rmm> New Media opening party: Pixelparty

[Paulien Dresscher]

Dear Research M.A. student,

We warmly invite you to a festive opening of the new media season with
a Pixelparty on Thursday 2 September starting at 8:30 in the evening.
The new media party is a co-production of "Schijnheilig"
(http://www.schijnheilig.org/) together with the new media team at the
University of Amsterdam. We also have invited the new M.A. students,
all of last year's international M.A. students as well as the B.A.
students in new media & digital culture, so it is a nice blend.

We are proud to present the program of the evening, which includes a
performance, a notorious rogue band, Gameboy/Atari/Nintendo-inspired
DJs and our own alumni VJ Minke and VJ Rosa! Attached please find the
flyer.


We look forward to seeing you at the Pixelparty!

The new media team

BIOGRAPHIES

Sin Sin Collective
Dubbed ‘digital terrorists’ by The Irish Times, sin sin is an
international group of pan media artists working under the auspices of
their beloved leader, The Fat Controller. Sin Sin Collective makes
performances, music and art animations using new technology in
combination with classical techniques. See
http://sinsincollective.com.

The RaaskalBOMfukkerZ
Notorious rogue with pockets full of surprises in the form of
intricate noise / soundscape of hip-hop with eggs and poisonous
complex versification (from Russian bio). More on:
http://www.myspace.com/raaskalbomfukkerz

EINDBAAS DJ team (Klazien Schaap & Frans Twisk)
EINDBAAS is the bad guy at the end of every computergame. We all know
him, he comes in shapes and sizes, he's invincible and always there.
EINDBAAS! It’s also the name of the super super super happy and
happening chiptune parties in Utrecht, hosted by dj PCK and Kla. They
love you getting your kicks playing their upbeat chiptunes, micro
dubstep, and other 8-bit dance delights. www.micromusic.nl

VJ Rosa Menkman
Every technology possess its own inherent accidents. Rosa Menkman is a
Dutch visualist who focuses on visual artifacts created by accidents
in digital media. The visuals she makes are the result of glitches,
compressions, feedback and other forms of noise. Although many people
perceive these accidents as negative experiences, Rosa emphasizes
their positive consequences. http://rosa-menkman.blogspot.com/ and

VJ Minke Kampman (VIADUKTAPE)
VIADUKTAPE does it low-tech, analogue, crispy, trashy with lots of  
vodka.
One does the live VJ input that the other brings to the screen in a
wild performance. It’s like an electronique etch-a-sketch that keeps
on sketching. http://viaduktape.com/
