RAMJAM2
& Pratyahara Nerve
Festival ICA,
London The
Nerve Festival of Art, Music and Media was held at the
ICA Galleries in London in September 1999 and organised
by NerveSystems.
Stem collaborated with Hexstatic to produce a new version
of RAMJAM
in the main bar. Robert Pepperell also collaborated with
Miles Visman to produce an animated version of a
transcendent
image. The piece was called Pratyahara and was shown in
the main cinema. An online version can be seen
here. Above: RAMJAM2 image by
Robert Pepperell The theme
of the festival was the human senses and the collaboration
between Stem and Hexstatic allowed users to manipulate
audiovisual clips relating to vision, hearing, taste, smell
and touch. The main bar at the ICA was fitted with sound and
video consoles connected to a sampler and a computer.
Visitors could then jam along with the DJs in the
bar. Right:
