Experience 87 minutes of hypnotic retinal bliss by San
Francisco VJ and software artist Spot, a.k.a. Scott Draves.
Five video tracks sync with electronic music by jhno, Spool,
dj vordo, and mbb. Three more tracks sync with music by
techno-violin sensation Kenji Williams (ABA Structure),
including an original track not released elsewhere. See
three unique and original styles: Electric Sheep, Dub
Visuals, and Bomb, each with a documentary explanation.
Includes looping tracks with solid backgrounds for use by
VJs, and progressive-scan for videophiles.
Further Information:
"Beautiful and mind-boggling." --Rudy Rucker, father of cyberpunk
With the spiked eye candy and fractal arabesques of Spotworks, Scott Draves has significantly raised the bar on digital psychedelia and the broader category of abstract animation. His electric sheep are the fluttering Gaian spawn of networked computers and genetic algorithms, while his visual 'dubs' of Ernst Haeckel's fin-de-siecle scientific lithographs add a resonant historical dimension to trippy visuals. Mind-melting stuff, and refreshingly devoid of the usual fungal kitsch.
Erik Davis, author of Techgnosis and contributing writer to Wired Magazine
This isn't just trippy wallpaper -- it's not even just art. This is garage-band artificial life. Draves is cooking up a new species made of code, decisions and cooperation, and this disc is a petri dish swimming with the organisms that deserve to succeed us here on Earth. I for one welcome our new a-life masters.
Cory Doctorow, author of Eastern Standard Tribe and co-editor of Boing Boing.
