Non commercial video platforms hosting recordings of our live visuals

By pixelflowers on 2021/01/01

We’ve established our main online presence on this blog, powered by autistici.org, because we’d rather use self-managed tools and stay away from commercial start-ups or corporations whenever possible. Using online services comes with a number of systemic issues. For the same reasons we’re currently not on Youtube, or any commercial video platform, and stream on live.autistici.org.

Since we started playing with visuals, we’ve been uploading all our recordings to the Internet Archive, a free, non-commercial, library-style platform. We’ve just uploaded there our 100th video recording!

Also, during 2020 we joined and started participating in Scanlines.xyz, a self-managed online community for DIY audio/video projects.

Among other things, Scanlines.xyz hosts an instance of PeerTube, a free and decentralized alternative to video platforms. We’ve been uploading there short clips created with an analog video synthesizer. Here’s an example:

A projector with "Composite Video" input (single yellow RCA or "Cinch" input). If it's not available, or if you are not sure, please get in touch with us
A projection screen, or other appropriate white and flat surface
A solid table or other stable surface, with at least 200 x 60 cm of free space (as a reference, our equipment includes 2 LCD displays, 1 CRT televisions, a laptop, a camera on tripod, two mixers and various other smaller machines) and space for two seats (we are two people). The placement must allow us to see our own projection
REQUIRED TO PERFORM: audio coming from the DJ mixer for the whole event (For example: a 1/4" TS jack connected to the left "MIX 2", "MST 2" or "MASTER 2" output; or an RCA cable from the "REC" outputs, if unused. A single cable is fine, as we don't need stereo. XLR, 1/4" TS or RCA plugs work for us). If the cable is not available or if you are not sure, please get in touch with us
12x power outlets on the same power line as the DJ mixer (this prevents ground loops and interferences). If you have less, please let us know
Our setup requires 2 hours
If a lighting system will be used during our performance, someone from the venue should attend our setup to operate the lights and set them in a way that it does not interfere with the projections
Towards the end of our setup, some music will need to be played from the the DJ mixer, for us to check the audio connection)
During the setup, we will lay down our own cable from our video mixer to the projector (unless a Composite or BNC cable is already there). Please provide us with a ladder if needed, and some duct tape or cable ties
According on the dimensions of the space and the distance from the projector and from the DJ booth, more XLR cables may be needed
Nice to have: 2x seats or stools, 1x laptop stand, 2x small lamps
