About Me

metaLuna is a live improvised visual collaboration between artists randomFX & SupaFlySista. Their performances are dynamic & music reactive, & has been described as "much more than static imagery accompanying unconnected music". Starting in the late 90's as video samplers, their style has progressed towards a more urban look with a touch of sci-fi surrealism with graphical elements. Aside from VJing, metaLuna make experimental short films, installations & often collaborate with other artists.Originally from Aotearoa/New Zealand, metaLuna currently reside in Brighton, UK.SupaFlySista: vj/visualist/ AV fanatic || randomFX: random by nature...www.metaluna.net // www.myspace.com/metaluna_vjs..
