Here’s the 20′ video we created for Ephemeris Time, an end-of-the-year collective audio visual show organized at scanlines.xyz. Read more about its content, soundtrack, etc.
Queer, trippy, sexy visuals for ecstatic rituals on sweaty dancefloors and dirty couches

About
In our work we employ abstract graphics, independent queer video productions, cinematography and lettering. We play with different technologies like software, analog video synthesis, cameras and old digital hardware. We do this live, usually as a "video track" for electronic and techno music. We like to work together with other artists, rather than competing with them. We upload our recordings to the Internet Archive. Here's a list of the sources for our clips.

Gallery
Technical Rider
- 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
