VJ THEORY AND PRACTICE WORKSHOP – with Ana Carvalho :: When: January 22, 2008; 6:30 – 10:30 pm :: Harvestworks, 596 Broadway, Suite 602 (at Houston St), New York, NY :: Limit: 15 Students :: Cost: $50.

Through her work Ana Carvalho explores ideas of identity, both theoretically and in her practice: she performs under the name Magenta Interior. Ana is one of the two editors of the project VJ Theory which compiles theoretical works about VJing and realtime performance and is interested in exploring ways for people to develop Artist Theory, theory based in practice, individually and collectively.

To create each performance, this performer misuses software or many technological devices not specific for VJing. Stories based in daily life are told through the selection of the toys and objects she uses.

In this workshop Ana will present her work to an audience as an opening to a dialogue. Attendees of the workshop are invited to bring examples (audiovisual, text, whether online or on DVD) of their own work or of other artists who also use a diverse range of technologies or create their own. This will be base for a debate on the creative ways of using technologies and an inspiration for new or ongoing work.

We hope to see you at both the performance and the workshop. For more information:
