The scoop, the scoop...where to begin? I'm a busy little bee/bug in my corner of the galaxy...I've been DJing experimental music for 10 years now and VJing for 2 or 3...I also put on experimental music shows from time to time...sometimes I break doorbell buzzers apart and make microphones out of them and attach them to bags of leaves or my mouth full of Pop Rocks...and sometimes I make mini FM transmitters...sometimes I just make a big mess all over my apartment...I research how audiences and DJs interact and gain awareness of each other in nightclubs and write papers to recommend new design directions for interactive technology development for clubs...I created a database of all of the audio artists in Saskatchewan for Soil Digital Media Suite...I also am the recent Past President of Saskatoon's media artist-run centre, PAVED Arts ...I teach workshops in VJing, experimental turntablism, and various electronic delights...I think databases are cool...I also like to write about rave culture, cyborgs, experimental turntablism, net.art, aesthetics, postcolonial issues, etc...I plan ..ing my Art History undergraduate degree at the U of S sometime this year. I try to curl up in my satin duvet with my fat black cat/grizzly bear cub Abraxus as often as possible. Seems I'm a black sheep wherever I go...so I try to find my kindred in the dark of night.
Special addiction: strong ceremonial Japanese matcha green tea with vanilla soya milk and rainbow tapioca bubbles. Highly reccommended to hardcore green lovers (tea and otherwise).
