Non commercial video platforms hosting recordings of our live visuals
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 […]
Ephemeris Time
On December 30, we’ll be part of Ephemeris Time, a collective audio/video show that will be streamed at scanlines.xyz. scanlines.xyz is a friendly community / forum to discuss DIY video and audio projects, electronic-based art, and related interests. It’s relatively young; we joined them in June 2020. We like it because of its hands-on attitude, […]
Playing with chroma keying and green screens
In the usual Interzone and Daddies On Acid weekly shows, our live visuals take the whole screen; on November 27, together with djs Bergen and Hansi, we did something a bit different. While recording their set, Bergen and Hansi also recorded themselves on video in front of a green background. Then they shared the video […]

Daddies on Acid streaming – Black Lives Matter
This week, with Black Lives Matter protests shaking the U.S. and the rest of the world, we streamed our visuals for Daddies on Acid, adding some clips from BLM protests in the States and elsewhere, as well as from the protests that erupted in Chile some months ago, and from the great Fuck the Fascism […]
Streaming from lockdown
It is known that sometimes misery and distress bring a lot of creativity and inspiration, and this hasn’t been different for us: in the past few weeks we have been collaborating with several projects, doing visuals for our beloved Interzone, Daddies on Acid, and Dis/Tanz. The Dis/Tanz video, with Ludi Oktokreuz & Schatten Voraus behind […]
