1st December dusk (approx 8.30pm)
Live
Cinema
At
an outdoor CBD location to be announced HERE on the day! Set
yourself a reminder to come back here to find out where to go.
VJing
grew up, went to school and this is what it became. Using the
same tools and techniques developed in nightclubs, live video
performance has now become a recognised artform. Some of the
very best in the world will be in Perth to collaborate on this
event - a large-scale outdoor video projection performance unlike
anything you've seen here before.
Bring
pillows, beanbags or folding chairs to watch in comfort. No food
or drink at event, but vendors nearby will be open, or BYO picnic
(NO ALCOHOL).
This
will be a family-friendly outdoor arts event, not like anything
held in Perth before.
Featuring Solu (Finland/Barcelona), Jean
Poole (Melb) and VJzoo (Perth).
Free.

Secret Location!
Perth
Town Hall will be the rally point, so if you can't
get online to check the location on the day, assemble on the
grassed area beside Perth Town Hall by 8pm and volunteers will
lead you to the secret site...
The Perth Town
Hall is on the corner of Barrack St and the Hay St Mall (east
end of the Hay St Mall).
There is an
unrelated event on at the Town Hall that evening, so don't go
inside. If you are on the lawn, you will be collected :)
And yes, we
even have a plan In Case of Rain so don't let a bit of
unseasonal drizzle put you off! Just wait in the undercroft of
the Town Hall and bring an umbrella for the walk. |

VJzoo consists
of Kat Black (VJ kattyb) and Jasper Cook (VJ
bunniboi). We
collect vintage equipment. We VJ. We tour. We run Plug
n Play Perth.
Paul
Spinrad, author of the
VJ Book said we're 'influential and internationally-respected
VJs with a rare mix of (blah, blah)...' but that's probably
because we plied him with cocktails after he came to one
of our gigs in the US.
