Monday, April 23rd to Friday, April 27th 7:00 - 9:00pm,
at Prince Albert's St. Mary's High School computer science labs
Have you ever wondered how VJs create their artwork? Have you ever wanted to create a custom visual projection to work with a dance or theatre piece? Have you ever tried adding live visuals to a band's performance or a DJ set? We can show you how!
Using Arkaos VJing software, instructors Carrie Gates and Leeane Berger will guide you through a series of fun and focused workshops that will take you from recording and digitizing your own video footage to programming video mixing software to being ready for a live VJ performance.
Workshops take place in the evenings, from Monday, April 23rd to Friday, April 27th 7:00 - 9:00pm, at the St. Mary's High School computer science labs. Since there are limited seats, we ask that you send us a short letter or email by April 17th outlining why you would like to learn more about VJing. Let us know if you have any experience working with video, but beginners are also welcome. Up to ten participants will be selected for this free workshop offered by Common Weal Community Arts, Inc.

More about the instructors, VJs Leeane Berger and Carrie Gates:
Carrie Gates – VJ Instructor
Carrie Gates' diverse art practices span the realms of VJing, experimental turntablism, sound art, sculpture, performance art, digital media, and the catylization of provocative interactive situations. Her work is unified by a pluralist vision and an appetite for teasing the uncanny from the familiar, critically yet playfully using and abusing any media she encounters. Recently, Gates has been working with creating innovative VJ performances using Max/MSP/Jitter and Arkaos software, sharing her findings with her peers through workshops and artist talks to encourage others to reclaim digital media as a tool for personal artistic expression and social change. Since 1996, she has been performing regularly at electronic music events, noise and experimental music shows, new media festivals, and art galleries. Her performances, compositions, videos, and research work have been shown across Canada as well as in Germany and the USA.

Leeane Berger – Assistant VJ Instructor
As part of a new generation of artists, Leeane Berger is currently working in the discovery, documentation and rediscovery of all things - great and small - that make up everyday living in Saskatchewan. In 2004 Leeane set out with a project to refurbish trash from alleys, sidewalks, parks and dumpsters. This endeavor propelled her into further exploration of salvaged and found materials. Leeane works in a variety of techniques and media in attempt to correlate viewer with surroundings. Using simple electronics to bring motion to a piñata television made from found electrical cords, wire and spray paint to the exploration of substance use in adding texture and depth to her found object paintings, Leeane is on a constant look out for new tools of expression. Working most recently in video, a medium she began working with while briefly attending Concordia University in 2005, has lead to experimentation with video mixing and animation. Her videos have since morphed from canadian video art inspired short-films into grungy expressionistic mixups for teasing and pleasing the eye.

VJ Theory - themed chats about critical theory, VJing, and realtime interaction
=====
VJ Theory would like to invite you to participate on the discussion/
chats we are organizing.
This is a small project to invite our contributors, mailing list and
others to participate in the discussion of ideas and theories
informed by practice.
For this project, six of our contributors moderate six chats online.
Each chat last one hour and has as subject a specific theme within
the area of realtime interaction. There is one in the morning (10AM/
London) and another one in the evening (7PM/London), from the 4th
until the 6th of April.
This is our first experiment in hosting a debate useful for anyone
interested in the subject of realtime interaction. We asked a few of
the VJ Theory project contributors to moderate conversations online
in a chat room.
You are welcome to join and contribute with your ideas to these
conversations.
The resultant texts will be available after each chat through
vjtheory.net.

Art Oppportunities Blog
Hey there!
I'm not sure how many of you already know about this, but I run a blog that is especially dedicated to archiving calls for submissions and job postings for the arts community. No filler! Updated several times a week, too!
I started this blog as a way to archive all of the interesting opportunities I was considering applying for, but then I realized that I was sitting on a goldmine of information that my friends would probably really benefit from seeing, too!
So, check it out here:

Guidewire Performances
So, I suppose this would be a little self promotion. I'll be putting on two performances in the next few weeks. There will be a show coming up on March the 31st at Neutral Ground art gallery in the Scarth St. Mall here in Regina. It'll be a 6 speaker digital audio performance involving various audio manipulation tricks and clicks.
The show starts at 8pm sharp.
$5 to be witness.
April the 5th.
in The Club @ The Exchange
Pay what you can.
Me and some electronics.
A fun time of glitchiness.
If you are curious in hearing a small selection of my tunes that may or may not show up in the performances. Check out..amiestreet

Snappy Dresser
Snappy Dress on flickr
Here is an artist I found on flickr recently. I believe he's from Saskatoon and his main focus seems to be on street art. Good stuff and I hope to find some of his stuff next time I'm in the Toon Town.

VJ clips made in Max/Jitter
Hi there!
I've been really excited by the work I've been doing lately with creating silent video clips for VJing, using Max/MSP/Jitter. If you're curious, I have a YouTube page where I will be posting some of them:

Here's a few samples to give you an idea:
