London brings it on

From our European research we got some really interesting input from London. In the previous message i already posted two video's. I made a selection from the most interesting websites:

http://www.vvvv.org
vvvv is a toolkit for real time video synthesis. It is designed to facilitate the handling of large media environments with physical interfaces, real-time motion graphics, audio and video that can interact with many users simultaneously.

http://www.generatorx.no/
The Generator.x project is a conference, exhibition and weblog examining the role of software and generative strategies in current digital art and design. On the weblog you can find nice examples of different art projects and designs where software is the media.

http://www.thelightsurgeons.co.uk/
Although this site is not running yet it is interesting to click on the blog and read about the light surgeons. They pioneered in live mixed media performance. It's nice to check out the video's and photo's on the blog. Let's wait for the full site. I'm curieus...

http://squa.re
This website is mend as liberation for like-minded, luxury-focused people who live an inspiring lifestyle. Squa.re offers unique content in luxury, style, travel and nightlife. I think it is a good example of niche marketing that might grow out to a succes.

This is an selection from some interesting organisations:
http://www.optronica.org
Optronica is a London based visual music festival in collaboration with British Film Institute. Two screening programme's were also shown on the STRP festival in Eindhoven.

http://www.dfuse.com/
D-fuse is a London collective of artists who explore a wide range of creative media. Their work had been shown in musea and festivals all over Europe. Also they have worked with different musicians, such as Beck and Alter Ego but als with classical composers.

http://www.onedotzero.com/
One dot zero is a cross-media production company and an acclaimed international network of events. They work mostly in London but there installations are also shown in the rest of Europe and other countries like Seoul.

Spanish video

From our Spanish contact we got the following contribution. There is A TV program called "Silent" about trends. They put videos representing silence at the end of each program.
Their website looks pretty interesting. Unfortunately my spanish is not so good so for me it is quite incomprehensible...
