A while back I was approached by the kind folks from Arkaos. They asked whether they could include some of my Quartz Composer patches with the latest version of GrandVJ, which introduced support for QC clips and effects. Always willing to spread the QC gospel, we worked out a deal that they could include about a dozen of my patches.
Now, half a year later a blog post surfaces, which has some hilariously funny pictures and story on a company using a demo version of GrandVJ at a gig. You can imagine my surprise when I looked closely at the pictures, and saw that lo and behold, my patches are used in the background!
It’s always heart warming to see your hard work on such a prominent display, being used by people that care about it.

On Saturday the 21st of November, Ableton Live celebrated its 10th birthday at the Sugar Factory (under the ingenious moniker of Able-10)
We took the opportunity to show how to take AV sets to the next level, by showing off the way you can integrate Resolume Avenue with Ableton Live.
For a full video tutorial on how to do this, check here: http://www.hybridvisuals.nl/tutorials/syncing-ableton-live-and-resolume-avenue/ and for a full video of the result check here: http://www.hybridvisuals.nl/video/tron-av-remix/

It started out as an experiment in filming and compositing in anaglyph 3d, but it turned into a six projector, multiple screen setup, complete with models prancing about on the cat walk.
People sure look funny in three piece suits and red-green glasses….
Especially the UFO that came flying in made the bizarro of the evening complete!
The pictures don’t do it justice, but let me assure you that fashion shows are something else entirely!

Although I worked on this more than a year ago, I recently came across some video footage of the event. It’s still quite bizarre to see thousands of people film your work with their cellphones.
And to see the full effect of the lighting and pyros!

This summer, we were asked to provide visuals and the lighting setup for the Magic Bubble Soundsystem at the Glastonbury Festival. The Magic Bubble crew are a lovely bunch of people, and we had a great time. It was the first time at Glastonbury for me, so it was quite a mind blowing experience. This picture was taken on Wednesday night (or rather early Thursday morning) when we didn’t yet know what was about to hit us.
Many thanks to the Magic Bubble crew for taking us on board and the lovely memories.

This is a narrowcasting application, made in Quartz Composer. I work for a multimedia college, and we showcase student work in the lobby. To replace the tedious task of burning new DVD’s every month, I designed this little app, that plays all movies in a designated folder on the fly. Drag, drop, watch!
With a little help (well, actually a lot) from an X-Coding colleague, we managed to turn into a fullscreen Cocoa app, that starts and shuts down automatically. For extra interest, we added RSS feeds with lesson times and school news.

The WiiGo is a hightech digital spraycan that paints the walls with light.
The principle is simple. An old spraycan registers the movements of the user with a computer. This information is passed on to a beamer, resulting in a streak of light where you are ‘spraying’. This way anybody can make a huge piece, without causing any actual ‘damage’.
Of course it’s a great installation to have at an urban themed event, but we find that everybody enjoys playing with it. Hiphoppers draw their tag, teenagers write loveletters, parents play pictionairy and little kids just love the light on the wall.
The interface, which is fully controlled by the can, offers choice in colours and cap size. The addition of characteristic sounds such as air pressure release when the cap is pressed and the ball rattling when the can is shook make for a fully immersive acoustic and visual experience.
All tags and throwups can be stored automatically and shown in a VJ set.
The WiiGo spraycan was the opening act for the Noisivision street art festival.
