Visual Berlin have just announced their “µ:avit”, a one-day vj meet amongst their ongoing shenanigans at the DMY design fair. Expect a community-led, do-it-yourself feel and a day full of faces-to-names and interesting works. I’ll be there running a full-day Quartz Composer workshop, and the action is sure to run till late via club gigs and suchlike.

VB’s form is good: their last big organising effort, “AViT>C23″, went down really well - check the photo gallery and the archived site has a list of people’s reports.

There is a press release here, and the website is fresh online at http://dmy.avit.info. So fresh in fact, that the organisers haven’t even added themselves as participants yet! So, I’d say if you want to spend a fun and rewarding day in Berlin, book the 24th and go sign up on the website.

Today on the VJ-U netcast we’ll be interviewing Aleksej, director of Circus of Now, a large-scale multimedia event design company. Among other things, we’ll discuss their Intelligent Media Composer, a polymorphic HD projection system that can dynamically mix timelines of pre-produced content with live feeds. Join us in the studio to ask questions or watch in the player below.
