• ‘In-the-flesh’ presentation by London based live video performance artist or “pixelist” Evan Raskob a.k.a. PixelPusher – demonstrating his homemade software that generates video out of a controlled chaos of photographic images, simple shapes, animations, sounds, and live video feeds;
• Informal ‘show-and-tell’ and ‘open-laptop’ sessions (go on… bring some of your own work along).

Join us at the next session to see Processing in action, meet other interested and like-minded people and find out more about the project and how to get involved.

Evan Raskob is a video, sound, & interactive artist, VJ, visual performance artist, and multimedia technology consultant working out of New York City (USA) and London (UK). Originally trained as an industrial engineer, his work reflects a scientific curiosity with natural phenomena and processes, especially those relating to visual and audiological perception. Evan received a Masters degree from the Interactive Telecommunication Program at New York University in 2004.

As PixelPusher Evan is a live video performance artist, or “pixelist.” After a few years of pixel-pushing across New York City, he now plies his trade on the mean streets of London. PixelPusher generates video out of a controlled chaos of photographic images, simple shapes, animations, sounds, and live video feeds. All software is homemade, all imagery are created live; things may go wrong in beautiful ways, and no performance is ever the same.

Currently, Evan works as part of the creative partnership ML Studio, teaches Video Games and computer-based interactive art at University of the Creative Arts Farnham campus, Experience Design at Kingston University. Previously, he lectured as part of the staff of Coventry University’s School of Art and Design, assisted artist Robert Whitman on new works, and developed a full-room video performance system with the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM), at 750 3rd Ave. in New York City.

He founded and continues to organise Openlab Workshops in free media and art hacking tools and techniques around London and the UK.
