Performances
Craptops vs Laptops

"Computer-generated music made with 8-bit and 32-bit technologies come together in this evening of video and multimedia performance. Employing a range of materials, be they hacked Atari consoles or more recent software, the artists demonstrate a common interest in 'dirt style' and bringing the obsolete to colorful and rhythmic life. Presenting opposing ends of the hi-tech (laptops) to low-end (craptops) spectrum, the line-up will reveal how blurry the ratio of bits involved in sound production can become. Can you tell whether the sizzle of static or a chorus of 8-bit bleeps has been made with the Nintendo Gameboy you trashed or the G5 you covet? With videos by Paper Rad, Treewave, and E*Rock. Live performances by LoVid, Bit Shifter, Nullsleep, Y.A.C.H.T. and NOTENDO" -rhizome.org
