The Video House Stars with DJ Ride heavy, rocking sampled movie bits in Grid along with the DJ deftly scratchin’ away.

Japanese-born avant-pop performer, Noriko Tujiko is currently based in Paris. Noriko accompanied herself with atonal harmonies sung live over prerecorded tracks of her voice with backing music, lifting the audience up high with her wraith-like vocal gymnastics hidden beneath a demure, modest face sporting a great pair of oldskool standard issue black rim medical specs.

While she played, she was accompanied on the screen behind her by a selection of visuals from the LOOP POOL PING PONG dvd produced by raumfurerprojektion, which includes 62 loops from 69 video artists. Noriko turned around to the screen here and there during her performance, having no idea what she would find there, and more than once she turned back towards the audience with a big grin on her face.

Danish Sound artist Jacob Kierkegaard "Investigates sonic membranes and discrete interference occurring in different environments. The first half of his set included a mix of sounds taken from scientific microphones embedded in the bubbling landscape of Iceland, with accompanying visuals.

But it was the second half of his set where everything got real interesting. Jacob had traveled to Chernobyl, which is apparently quite the post modern tourist destination, and taken recordings in three separate rooms of the ambient sound for a span of 12 minutes, after which he played the recording of the room back to the room, recording it again and again, until the room ended up singing to itself with ambient noise. Mixing the various frequencies while a video of each space played behind him, Jacob showed why he is one of the most interesting acts in the white noise art scene, taking things up a notch by squeezing technological fuzz and hum from organic sources, and extrapolating them into a coherent, harmonic orchestral explosion.

Together with local VJ collective, videomorphose.com, AE bombed the city with guerilla video graffiti, a form of urban street art new to lisboa. Armed with a full magazine of subversive content in their laptops and a high-performance videobeamer firing twenty five frames per second mounted inside a civilian SUV, the crew of four assaulted the streets late at night with their temporary visual ammunition. Video graffiti covered walls, automobiles, and monuments temporarlily, leaving behind no damage or trace of their presence. Public spaces, with thousands of buildings acting as canvasses, are prime targets for displaying messages and transporting ideas - advertising companies recognize this, and that is why they are branded with commercial messages. In contemporary times, these are actually the dominant message, and its "pay to play". In the same way that grafitti artists retake these urban spaces and reclaim them to for non-commercial messages expressing their disenfrachisement, artificialeyes.tv "branded" lisboa with the message, "BLINK TOUR", encouraging spectators to "turn off, tune out, and drop in", and to question whether the medium is "still" the message.Check out the 4 minute video below.
