Join us for a summer night fusion of the high-tech eclectic. This event is a return to the roots of the VJ/DJ dance party where a distinct amalgamation of NYC’s most innovative VJs and finest cutting edge DJs transform Sullivan Room into an enchanted sonic-visual space.
After the overwhelming success of the first Red Eye, Sullivan Room once again becomes a multi projection space where visualists mixing and mash video live all night. The returning group of VJs VisualHornHonking, Lady Firefly, Holly Daggers, and three5eric are joined by CHiKA, Giles Hendrix, and Benton-C.
Benton-C takes a break from designing curricula to teach the art of the VJ at Eyebeam in order to show us how it’s really done by doing an “old school” mix of classic visuals from his archives. Giles’ appearance is fresh from his big gig with Paul van Dyk at Central Park Summerstage. CHiKA takes the minimalism of work to another level using only hardware with intense limitation.
The powerhouse lineup continue with DJs from the Sullivan Room scene including Z-Lenin, Serge aka JYD (Satellite Records), Hard Edge, and our own ActivePhaze (MadFlat/EyeWash). This event is curated by VisualHornHonking and ActivePhase of MadFlat and produced by Forward Motion Theater in conjunction with the artists.
