This was for an event I was the Producer for and was the product of AMCI in conjunction with Lexus. I personally did a hot lap in the right seat of the vehicle on my birthday and I can tell you this vehicle is amazing! Scott Pruett is a great driver.

Skynoise.net just recently release an interview with one of the founders of E.B.N. Zoo TV Tour by US was one of my insperations as a young man growing up in terms of how the pure definition of media was being skewed into it’s present and beautifully schizophrenic actuality. Here is an excerpt.

Hey guess what? It’s a thrill to present an interview with one of the founders of E.B.N., pioneers of audiovisual radness, and inspiration to many since way back in 1991. Yeah, those guys beaming their live video sampler performances from a bunch of TVs atop a station wagon on the Lollapalooza tour, the guys that made a video remix ‘album’ from Gulf War footage, and opened U2’s ZOO TV tour. That was E.B.N., and they paved the way for much of today’s live video. Although long disbanded, Brian Kane and the other founders, Joshua Pearson and Gardner Post, have each continued exploring various multimedia technologies ( links to each and more E.B.N. details / videos etc at their wikipedia page ). Brian’s thoughts below.

Back in 1992, you invented VuJak, the worlds first video sampler. What real-time video software impresses you today, and what surprises you about the ways video software has developed?
Ableton Live is amazing, and I also like the Pioneer DVJ line. I still use Max/MSP/Jitter because you can do so much and I have worked with it for many years. The Cycling74 folks have done a great job with Max, and Josh Clayton’s Jitter objects are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I’ve seen some incredible things done with Processing, though I haven’t used it yet myself. What interests there is Mobile Processing, I am more and more interested in mobile/handheld video applications.

For the past month I have been working for AMCI to create the Lexus booth for this year’s SEMA Convention. We had the Mike and Brandy from Hit & Run out screen printing custom Lexus LFA inspired artwork, DJ Adam Salter and the actual LFA itself in the booth. The President of Toyota even showed up to see the booth. Here are some photos from the show!

The show was amazing and we were packed all 4 days.
