Eyebeam is pleased to announce a performance by the award-winning British VJ collective D-FUSE at its next MIXER, the quarterly Saturday-night performance party, on February 23. NYC’s Bubblyfish/CHiKA, DJ Spinoza and Lady Firefly will also perform sets at February’s MIXER, which will begin at 9PM and last through midnight.
Large-screen projections and interactive art projects from Eyebeam’s labs are among the night’s hybrid features, which in concert aim to create an immersive environment for audience participation and creative play. MIXER is dedicated to showcasing leading performing artists in the fields of live video and audio, and began in November 2007, with the inaugural, sold-out experimental performance of Brother Islands (Places to Lose People).

OptoSonic Tea is a new regular series of meetings dedicated to the convergence of live visuals with live sound which focuses on the visual component. These presentation-and-discussion meetings aim to explore different forms of live visuals (live video, live film, live slide projection and their variations and combinations) and the different ways they can come into interaction with live audio. Each evening features two different live visual artists or groups of artists who each perform a set with the live sound artists of their choice. The presentations are followed by an informal discussion about the artists’ practices over a cup of green tea. A third artist, from previous generations of visualists or related fields, is invited specifically to participate in this discussion so as to create a dialogue between current and past practices and provide different perspectives on the present and the future.
Organized by Katherine Liberovskaya and Ursula Scherrer
Bruce Tovsky is a visual/sound artist based in in Brooklyn, New York. After earning his MFA degree in Multimedia from Rutgers University in 1979, Tovsky began showing his video work across the USA, as well as Europe and Japan.

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.
