Hello, Global Eye is part of Void Network and Global Offering Academy.
http://voidnetwork.blogspot.com/ to see what we are up to.
Global Eye is a vj ARTISTS collective and database of images collected and offered from ever growing sources that are drummed live to music. By matching the live image drumming to the music at any given time the set adopts a HYPNOTIC quality, allowing people to enter a DEEPER state of mind, enhancing the dance EXPERIENCE. The sets are constructed in a way that anyone can JOIN IN and play them, as we purposely do not use any VJ software. In this past year around 80 different people have drummed Global Eye sets in clubs, universities, social centers, galleries, film festivals, protests sites, beaches, squares and streets.
Works by Global Eye and its members have been shown at:
National Film Institute in London,
Transmediale in Berlin,
European Media Arts Festival in Osnabruck,
Venice Film Festival Italy,
Sydney Opera House Australia,
Full Moon Festival,
Vuuv Experience in Germany and
Athens Biennial with 50.000 visitors!
Some of the main subjects we cover are:
Presenting the STUNNING BEAUTY of our planet, the universe and LIFE.... This planet being a living organism, comparing it with microcosm, macrocosm, human body, insects, urban society, technology...
Presenting greed, selfishness and apathy as a virus / parasite on the planet/the bigger organism.
An analysis of psychological manipulations used in advertising, e.g. stereotypes, propaganda, consumerism, mental health, pre-defined ideals (beauty, fitness, work.) revealing images that get bypassed by mainstream media.
We believe that the biggest impairment of our current society is the belief that the individual is incapable of IMPROVING their world. As a result we aim to deconstruct power structures whilst EMPOWERING the individual.
The communication system we use is intended to break through barriers of education, age, cultural background and apathy.
We consider parties as a vital MEETING POINT OF MINDS in a state of openness, our set is designed to provoke thought, inspiration, initiate conversation, convey information and hopefully lead to further CREATION OF POSITIVE CHANGE.

Global Offering Academy / Open Invitation
We would like to see people, common interesting people from different cultures, ages and backgrounds, people with common interests that would form new networks of relations, webs of a new way of social life based on interdependence, empathy and wisdom and standing antagonistically to a world of apathy, ego, greed, fear, lies, and boundaries. We would like to see affinity groups, open meeting points, collective experiences, great piratical adventures, new myths and fairytales, wonderful nights and inspirational daydreaming, future revolutionary visions and extremely powerful ecstatic collective moments.
We would like to see anti-dogmatic open-hearted people that have the ability to challenge themselves, to challenge their knowledge, to challenge their way of life, to challenge their societies, the public institutions and to challenge all governments.
We would like to see companies of friends that fight against capitalistic companies for a better life on planet Earth for everybody.
From now on all friendship will be Revolutionary
The main project of Global Offering Academy is to bring physically together creative people wishing to engage with these issues, help each other be better prepared to form and enforce their dreams, provide a close network of friends for future collaborations and support.
Our plan is whilst exploring our planet Earth stay in a series of natural and urban locations, meet up with like minded positive revolutionary people from all over the world, spending anything between a few days or a few months teaching each other, learning through experiential collaborative projects, exchanging information and inspiration, creating, sharing, growing and built up together a great free open public festival as a conclusion of this meeting.
Our day programe is simple : Every individual, being both student and teacher, aiming to posses the collective knowledge of the whole group. Sharing and exchange of practical information, technologies, artworks and skills in the mornings, putting it in creative collaborative practice in the afternoons and spending celebrative free time in the evenings. At the end of each Global Offering Academy residency the results of all the cross platform collaborative projects will be presented in the form of an interactive artistic show allowing for the open public social interaction with the local community and the wider world.
