Three sites, one directory each
flux.vision, tobias.raayoni-last.com and randogoth.com. They were one site until October 2026, serving four audiences from a single dated list, which is the only format that can hold unrelated things at once. flux.vision is recovered from the Wayback Machine, where it had sat since being deleted in 2021: 90 articles, closed and maintained rather than updated. tobias.raayoni-last.com is the professional record, 97 articles back to 1999. randogoth.com is the technical work, 41 articles across six areas, served as an ANSI bulletin board. History starts here deliberately. The development history, the 266-row inventory that records why each article went where it did, the Wayback pipelines, the pruned articles, the source archives and the full-size images are kept beside the repo rather than in it, so a clone is the web presence and not the argument that produced it. REFACTOR.md is gitignored for the same reason. See README.md for where that material lives, and keep it: the sort is not reproducible from these three directories alone. Each site documents itself in its own README, including the traps that cost time and look like nothing when you get them wrong.

# sites
|
||||
|
||||
Three domains, one directory each, one audience each.
|
||||
|
||||
| Directory | Domain | Subject | Audience |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `flux.vision/` | flux.vision | Kiritan Flux: media arts, VJ, performance, installations, 2003-2021 | festival and art world |
|
||||
| `tobias.raayoni-last.com/` | tobias.raayoni-last.com | client work, portfolio, CV | clients, employers, galleries |
|
||||
| `randogoth.com/` | randogoth.com | the technical work, six areas | devs, retro and small-net readers |
|
||||
|
||||
They were one site until October 2026. The split is the fix: four audiences were being handed one
|
||||
page, and a page that serves four audiences collapses into the only format that can hold unrelated
|
||||
things, which is a dated list.
|
||||
|
||||
`sublunar.space` is deliberately not here. It is a working blog with nine years and 440 commits of
|
||||
its own voice, and it keeps its own repo.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building
|
||||
|
||||
All three are Pelican, with no shared build. Each stands alone:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
cd flux.vision # or tobias.raayoni-last.com, or randogoth.com
|
||||
uv run --quiet --with pelican --with markdown -- pelican content -o output -s pelicanconf.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each directory has its own README covering its theme, its taxonomy and the traps specific to it.
|
||||
|
||||
| | articles | theme | notes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `flux.vision/` | 90 | `flux` | recovered from the Wayback Machine; closed, maintained not updated |
|
||||
| `tobias.raayoni-last.com/` | 97 | `raayoni` | grid of tiles, light and dark |
|
||||
| `randogoth.com/` | 41 | `bbs` | an ANSI bulletin board, 80 columns; `mc-pelican` is the fallback |
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
Built and served on `bucur`. A push triggers a webhook that builds the changed site and rsyncs it
|
||||
into place. Content does not trigger a system activation: the site derivations are flake packages,
|
||||
so a typo costs a Pelican run rather than a `nixos-rebuild switch`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Shared conventions
|
||||
|
||||
- **No em dashes.** Commas, colons, full stops or `·`.
|
||||
- **Flat slugs.** `{slug}.html` on all three. Categories get reworked; slugs should not move.
|
||||
- **No `nl2br`.** The recovered bodies are hard wrapped at about 70 characters, so it turns every
|
||||
source line into a forced break. This has been fixed twice; do not add it back.
|
||||
- **Lost images are handled at build time,** not in the browser. The references stay in the Markdown
|
||||
because the reference records what was there; `plugins/lostimages.py` strips them from the output.
|
||||
- **Check the built output, not the source.** Several bugs here were invisible at a glance and
|
||||
obvious to a counter: forced line breaks that fell near the natural wrap, box drawing a column
|
||||
short, a config change that silently emptied every hotkey.
|
||||
|
||||
## The working material
|
||||
|
||||
The inventory, the recovery pipelines, the pruned articles, the source archives and `REFACTOR.md`
|
||||
live outside this repo, at `/mnt/data/Backup/sites-restructure-2026-10-05/`. A clone is the three
|
||||
sites, not the argument that produced them.
|
||||
|
||||
That backup is worth keeping: the sort is not reproducible from the sites alone. `inventory.tsv`
|
||||
records why each of 266 articles went where it did, and `_pruned/` is the only record of what was
|
||||
taken out.

# flux.vision, Kiritan Flux
|
||||
|
||||
The VJ and media-art career, 2003-2021, under the name **Kiritan Flux**. A closed body of work:
|
||||
maintained, not updated. See `REFACTOR.md` §B in the working material.
|
||||
|
||||
Recovered from the Wayback Machine, since no local copy survived (checked and ruled out on the
|
||||
`cargo` backup SSD). 89 articles and 232 images are in; the date-bounded CDX query and the
|
||||
`curl -sL` gotcha are documented in `REFACTOR.md` §B.
|
||||
|
||||
Only the media-arts half lives here. Client and commercial credits went to
|
||||
`../tobias.raayoni-last.com/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
uv run --quiet --with pelican --with markdown -- pelican content -o output -s pelicanconf.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`pelicanconf.py` reproduces the original URL scheme exactly, so archived and inbound links resolve
|
||||
rather than 404: flat `{slug}.html` articles, `/section/`, `/tag/`, `/info/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sections
|
||||
|
||||
veejay 28 · performance 18 · installation 18 · blog 15 · curation 9 · sound 1
|
||||
|
||||
`blog` is excluded from the work listings (`WORK_EXCLUDE`) and has its own nav item, because those
|
||||
entries are reports and essays rather than engagements.
|
||||
|
||||
`kiritanflux.md` publishes as `/signing-off.html`, since Pelican derives the slug from the title.
|
||||
It is the closing post and carries the full 114-entry gig history, 2003 to 2021, across 11
|
||||
countries.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
| Plugin | Does |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `tileweight.py` | sizes each timeline tile from the entry itself: images, video, word count |
|
||||
| `lostimages.py` | drops `<img>` and wrapping links whose file did not survive, leaving a comment naming it |
|
||||
| `assetcheck.py` | flags `Thumb:`/`Background:` whose file is missing, so templates render a typographic card |
|
||||
|
||||
`assetcheck.py` is shared from `../tobias.raayoni-last.com/plugins/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## What did not survive
|
||||
|
||||
78 images are gone for good and Wayback holds no capture of them: 15 camera originals on an offline
|
||||
drive, 16 client logos, 21 `Bild-NN.png` screenshots, and the rest one-offs. The Markdown keeps the
|
||||
original references, because the reference records what was there. 19 tiles therefore show static
|
||||
rather than a thumbnail, and 22 in-article images are stripped at build time.
|
||||
|
||||
`content/images/` is empty, so anything referencing `/images/` is among the losses.
|
||||
|
||||
## Theme notes
|
||||
|
||||
Three layout traps, all of which fail silently:
|
||||
|
||||
- The gutter must not use `vw`. `overflow-y: scroll` always shows a scrollbar, `vw` counts it, and
|
||||
anything full-bleed then overflows by the scrollbar width and the page scrolls sideways.
|
||||
- Direct children of `.container` must set padding with the `-top`/`-bottom` longhand. A `padding:`
|
||||
shorthand has the same specificity as the gutter rule and comes later in the file, so it resets
|
||||
the gutter to zero and text sits flush against the screen edge.
|
||||
- The nav panel occupies one corner, so it gets a lane on one side only. Symmetric gutters large
|
||||
enough for the panel crush the column at tablet widths.

*(a personal report by Kiritan Flux, photos by Ilan Katin)*
|
||||
|
||||
Just having a faint idea that there was supposed to be something going
|
||||
on this friday evening i checked the outsourced part of
|
||||
my permanently damaged brain memory. the digital cloud reminded me of
|
||||
the [Celeste prize](http://www.celesteprize.com/ "Celeste Prize 2009")
|
||||
final party event and I suddenly got really excited about going there.
|
||||
Looking at the menubar clock I realized I had only half an hour of time
|
||||
before it would start, so I threw a post about it into the VB feed,
|
||||
dropped all my other ongoing procrastination tasks, grabbed my photo
|
||||
camera and left.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- PELICAN_BEGIN_SUMMARY -->Sipping a nice cold bottle of czech beer I walked to the gigantic
|
||||
industrial compound of the old AEG factory in Wedding, scanning the dark
|
||||
area for hints about Celeste. I strayed around the red brick and rusty
|
||||
metal complex, totally lost - until a naturally wary, androgynous, and
|
||||
faceless security guard popped up from the shadows wanting to know my
|
||||
intentions. I explained myself and the guard dutifully pointed me into
|
||||
the right direction. On the way, I realized I forgot to bring the CF
|
||||
card for my camera at my office...<!-- PELICAN_END_SUMMARY -->
|
||||
|
||||
Eventually I found the entrance and met Ilan in front, who seemed like
|
||||
he'd stayed there already for a (much too) long time. We had a nice chat
|
||||
and a few overpriced Becks, and stood there glancing over the crowd of
|
||||
usual suspects to expect at this type of event: new-berliner americans,
|
||||
hipsters, arty geeks and showoff-intellectuals sipping their white wines
|
||||
and puffing weed. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere. A previously leaked
|
||||
but never confirmed rumour turned out to be true: epic berlin electro
|
||||
joint venture [Moderat](http://www.bpitchcontrol.de/Moderat/ "Moderat")
|
||||
did a free 20min concert for the visuals of the first contestant
|
||||
[Pfadfinderei](http://www.pfadfinderei.com/ "Pfadfinderei"). They
|
||||
performed in the usual static in-line Kraftwerk style choreography, but
|
||||
peppered with britpop fashion and Pet-Shop-Boys-hat and even some
|
||||
head-nodding and hip-twisting in between.
|
||||
|
||||
There's not much say about
|
||||
[Pfadfinderei](http://www.pfadfinderei.com/ "Pfadfinderei") that's
|
||||
really new or revolutionary. The same perfect and shiny pro aestetics as
|
||||
ever, clip-shooting as always and with some additional RGB lights on the
|
||||
triple head installation, they did a nice show matching the sound of
|
||||
[Moderat](http://moderat.fm "Moderat") quite well. But after 10 minutes
|
||||
of watching we left the room to check out [the
|
||||
fish](http://www.celesteprize.com/artwork/ido:30052/ "Quintetto") which
|
||||
was actually much more entertaining: five real goldfish named after five
|
||||
different avantgarde music composers, floating in five narrow plexiglass
|
||||
tanks tracked by a camera and generating music - really cool!!
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
[Moderat](http://moderat.fm "Moderat") was finished when we returned to
|
||||
the main stage area, so we spent the break socialising with some other
|
||||
artists who had arrived. Dr. Nojoke and Ray Beams who had participated
|
||||
at the Celeste competition and some VB family members: jorgk, e, lucas +
|
||||
christiane, georgina + felix, yagama, bram + anneke. Thenkfully the
|
||||
entertainment factor of the event went up to a higher level, hearing
|
||||
weird stories about lost wallets and smashed car windows, the latest
|
||||
gossip and some rants and rumours about Celeste.
|
||||
|
||||
The second performance was [Solitude by
|
||||
Dome](http://www.celesteprize.com/artwork/ido:27879/ "Solitude"), which
|
||||
started off a bit too noizy and slightly boring but ended up as a really
|
||||
amazing audiovisual performance. A guy who looked like he dropped out of
|
||||
a sci-fi martial arts manga, making weird sounds with natural objects
|
||||
inside and outside of a small glass terrarium and a violin bow playing
|
||||
on other objects, along with beautiful black and white videos of
|
||||
desolated industrial places and flocks of birds circling above and
|
||||
around run down factory towers. When the performance ended it left the
|
||||
audience in an intense moment of contemplation that suddenly switched to
|
||||
roaring applause.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
[Celeste
|
||||
Motus](http://www.celesteprize.com/artwork/ido:30686/ "Celeste Motus")
|
||||
was the third piece by the italian artist group abstract birds - a calm
|
||||
and really beautiful three parts opus of generative vvvv color bliss and
|
||||
live played instruments. One of the nicest generative and sound reactive
|
||||
artworks i've seen for a while.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
My absolute favorite performance was [Mutazioni by Gianluca
|
||||
Beccary](http://www.celesteprize.com/artwork/ido:23901/ "Mutazioni"), a
|
||||
disturbing audiovisual horror trip through a dark and mystical version
|
||||
of Italy's beaches, river valleys and epic venetian theatres occupied by
|
||||
naked swine men, wildly dancing fauns, occult monks with pale bird masks
|
||||
and accompanied by distorted live cello music and glitchy ambient noise.
|
||||
Truly amazing video footage of highly talented and well casted actors,
|
||||
incredible cinematography and great music added up to a truly memorable
|
||||
nightmare experience.
|
||||
|
||||
http://vimeo.com/4782590
|
||||
|
||||
The final set was [L C M [les champs magnétiques] by Otolab dies
|
||||
Orgone](http://www.celesteprize.com/artwork/ido:29863/ "LCM"),
|
||||
stunningly loud and all black and white, two artists apparetly hooked on
|
||||
speed or ketamines making noise on steroids and running ~~a vvvv~~ *an
|
||||
isadora* patch on crack. It was all high quality generative mayhem, but
|
||||
in my opinion not really worth winning the top 1 celecte prize in the
|
||||
live media category - but oh well - maybe everyone who voted for them
|
||||
was on PCP or heroin too, so it kinda makes sense.
|
||||
|
||||
http://vimeo.com/5463100
|
||||
|
||||
After some more socializing, shooting cherry tomatos around the
|
||||
exhibition room with an air pressure gun and talking with friends, I was
|
||||
happy when jorgk eventually wanted to leave and gave me a ride back home
|
||||
to xberg.

|
||||
|
||||
In my previous
|
||||
post
|
||||
i elaborated on my recent decision to switch from Mac to PC. Such
|
||||
drastic changes of course influence my work in various ways. Some things
|
||||
were expected, others surprised me. Of course i was aware of obvious
|
||||
things like suddenly having to deal with graphic card driver settings,
|
||||
not being able to use my beloved Mac VJ software
|
||||
([VDMX](http://vidvox.net)) anymore and losing out on technologies like
|
||||
[syphon](http://syphon.v002.info).
|
||||
|
||||
...then I got reminded of what it's like, having to work on a Windows
|
||||
PC...<!--more-->
|
||||
|
||||
Using a windows machine, veejays get a completely different choice of
|
||||
software than in the Mac world. I decided to use
|
||||
[Resolume](http://resolume.com), because I like the interface and the
|
||||
overall look and feel of it. I tried [Arkaos
|
||||
GrandVJ](https://www.arkaos.net) and it just didn't feel right. I tried
|
||||
[Livid Cell](http://www.lividinstruments.com/software_cell.php) and
|
||||
closed it after a minute.
|
||||
|
||||
[vimeo]https://vimeo.com/28227392[/vimeo]
|
||||
|
||||
The Resolume setup was straight forward and it works incredibly fast on
|
||||
my machine...until i tried mapping my MIDI controller to the software...
|
||||
|
||||
WTF \#1: I connected my [M-Audio Trigger
|
||||
Finger](http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep05/articles/triggerfinger.htm)
|
||||
that had served me so well in the last years to the computer, expecting
|
||||
it to work rightaway. Error message: "the USB device cannot be
|
||||
recognised." Fine - i am on Windows 8 and it's a fairly dated
|
||||
controller, so the system probably just wants drivers. I found the
|
||||
drivers on their website, installed them - no result, same error. I
|
||||
started plugging the Trigger Finger to all the USB ports I have,
|
||||
including the one on the side of my attached USB Apple keyboard -
|
||||
and....what? Windows detected it and installed the drivers
|
||||
automatically! But i got another error message: not enough power on the
|
||||
USB port. I plugged it back directly into the computer - "device not
|
||||
detected." Eventually i plugged a small USB hub and attached the Trigger
|
||||
Finger to that - and it works! WTF? On Windows 7 and 8 it doesn't work
|
||||
plugged directly, but only via a hub. Does anyone have a logic
|
||||
explanation for that?
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
WTF \#2: Resolume saw my MIDI controller, so i put it in MIDI mapping
|
||||
mode to assign my knobs and buttons to different functions. It worked on
|
||||
two buttons and then Resolume just froze. I tried it over and over, with
|
||||
several restarts, but it always froze. I even tried it with Resolume 3
|
||||
and with a cracked Resolume 4 Arena version - same thing. In fact, with
|
||||
any kind of mapping mode enabled, Resolume dies. I was lost. I even
|
||||
tried to edit the XML files by hand to assign MIDI to Resolume, but I
|
||||
stopped, because that couldn't be the solution. I started to think about
|
||||
32bit Software vs. 64bit Operating System. Maybe that's it! Or maybe
|
||||
it's just Windows 8. I rummaged through my shelves to find a Windows 7
|
||||
Ultimate installation CD and went through the whole setup process on a
|
||||
secondary partition. After all the painful driver installations for my
|
||||
ThinkPad were done, i installed Resolume 4. I entered MIDI mapping mode
|
||||
and YESS!!! it works..........for a minute, then it freezes. Same
|
||||
problem. I figured it must be my hardware. The most probable thing might
|
||||
be the [NVIDIA Optimus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus)
|
||||
switchable GPU magic. I rebooted, force switched the notebook in BIOS to
|
||||
only use the [NVIDIA
|
||||
K2000M](http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-K2000M.76893.0.html)
|
||||
adapter, restarted twice until Windows understood that the intel onboard
|
||||
HD graphics adapter is gone, and tried again in Resolume. BAM! It all
|
||||
works fine and smoothly now. Including being able to map my MIDI...
|
||||
|
||||
...it just took around 7 or 8 hours to just connect a fucking MIDI
|
||||
controller to my computer and map it to my software. SRSLY????? It would
|
||||
have taken 4 to 5 minutes on my Mac...............but let's not think
|
||||
about that.

I was super nervous about having to use my new
|
||||
Thinkpad
|
||||
with a new operating system and a new VJ software which I am not used to
|
||||
right at the first huge gig in the burning summer sun, covered with
|
||||
dust, in front of tens of thousands of people at [Love Family
|
||||
Park](http://lovefamilypark.com) yesterday together with [Jem the
|
||||
Misfit](http://www.jemthemisfit.com)...especially after [what i've gone
|
||||
through](/a-vjs-joy-of-using-pc-part-1.html)
|
||||
last week...<!-- PELICAN_END_SUMMARY -->
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
...but I have to say: I am proud of my black monster! It didn't only
|
||||
survive the outdoor rave, the system and the software were rock solid
|
||||
throughout the full 10 hour set. Maximum CPU load was around 20%, RAM
|
||||
usage around 14% and the maximum average core temperature was around
|
||||
79°C - in average around 70°C. Amazing!
|
||||
|
||||
I guess I should push the baby harder next time...

The Goethe Institut invited me to a ten day trip to Moldova and Ukraine as part of their program to support alternative art spaces in eastern Europe.
|
||||
|
||||
I was invited by the newly opened alternative art space #Adapter in Kremenchuk to stay there for three days as a mini residency and develop a video installation.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Besides doing an impromptu live visual performance at the opening night I developed a permanent installation object with practical value for the art space. Together with the help of Eugene Dmitriev, Pascha of PXM, Maxim Zveroboy, Maria Hildenbrandt, and Antony Chupin we built a furniture object resembling an "adapter" with a video screen to display a loop with the space's logo. Ideas for improvement were collected and in the future the adapter installation will host a Raspberry Pi with a custom software to display any kind of information, like the art space's upcoming program, and things like that.

I did one of my dérive performances that solely consisted of video footage that was shot in Auroville by [Tlalit Segal Raayoni](http://tlal.it) and myself just the day before the performance, while electroacoustic artist [Chloé Sanchez](http://chloe-sanchez.weebly.com) created a soundscape from her collection of audio recordings captured in Auroville over the past years. We met for the first time only on the day of the performance, so we did it without any rehearsals! The whole production and idea came from [Christoph](http://brainfever.in).

Summary: Various performances for the electro arts festival in Cluj-Napoca, RO together with Alex Halka and others.
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of my performance at "Clujotronic" in the city of Cluj-Napoca in Romania was to create an audiovisual performance within 48 hours together with a Romanian musician I had never met before - and my own dogma to make it even harder for myself: only with video material shot in Cluj...
|
||||
|
||||
Many thanks to the amazing Alex Halka - it was a very inspiring and synergetic collaboration. Thanks a lot to the CLUJOTRONIC team for the idea and for making this festival: Fabian, Alexandra, Liliana and Ildiko vom Deutsches Kulturzentrum Klausenburg, the Institut Francais, Razvan and his great tech support crew, VJ PLUS[+], Nerk/Kirn, Edouard & Matthieu, 7th Sphere Project.

For this years Clujotronic festival I wanted to do something completely different than in the years before: a projection into the audience through a room filled with fog. My aim was to play with the depth of the space instead of having video playing on a flat surface. The content consisted exclusively of magical and alchemical symbols which suited the dark ambient techno live-set of *Alex Halka* and *Vlaicu Golcea*.

|

Summary: Infected Hardware, an interactive AV mapping piece built with Alex Halka and Matthieu Tercieux for the festival's tenth anniversary.
|
||||
|
||||
For its tenth edition Clujotronic brought back three artists from the festival's own
|
||||
history: Alex Halka from Romania, Matthieu Tercieux from France, and myself. The brief was
|
||||
open, which is to say there was not one. We were asked to make something together that none
|
||||
of us would have made alone.
|
||||
|
||||
What came out of it was *Infected Hardware*, an interactive audiovisual mapping piece in the
|
||||
courtyard of the Cluj Art Museum. For three evenings the courtyard worked as an experimental
|
||||
laboratory rather than a stage: the facade carried the projection, the audience could act on
|
||||
it, and the three of us ran it live.
|
||||
|
||||
> *"Three of the artists who shaped the festival's history, Alex Halka (RO), Kiritan Flux (DE)
|
||||
> and Matthieu Tercieux (FR), answered the challenge of creating an original interactive
|
||||
> digital art project together. That is how Infected Hardware came about."*
|
||||
|
||||
That is the organisers' own description, translated from the
|
||||
[Romanian](https://institutfrancais.ro/cluj-napoca/clujotronic-2021-2/), and it is fairly
|
||||
close to how it felt.
|
||||
|
||||
I had played Clujotronic in 2014, 2015 and 2016, every time with Alex. The festival has a
|
||||
habit of putting people in a room to see what happens, which is how the first of those

Summary: Debut digital album release of a deep listening ambient drone meditation on cyberpunk
|
||||
|
||||
<iframe style="width: 700px; height: 340px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1688229791/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless></iframe>
|
||||
|
||||
Debut digital [album release](https://lastunit.bandcamp.com/album/lost-in-crystal-canyons) of a deep listening ambient drone meditation on cyberpunk called "Lost in Crystal Canyons" under my alias for audio works, "Last Unit"
|
||||
|
||||
All sounds used in this [album](https://lastunit.bandcamp.com/album/lost-in-crystal-canyons) were recorded with a special coil microphone, capturing the naturally inaudible electromagnetic emissions of the mainboard and componentes of a dual CPU Supermicro rack server.
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="para" style="height: 20em; background-image: url(/images/supermicro.jpg)"></div>
|
||||
> The humming beneath the physical matter. Unified Field. The server as a neuron. Cyberspace/mind emerging from electrified matter/brain which itself is a manifestation of energy/consciousness.
|
||||
|
||||
The recordings were resampled, mixed and mangled with a Yamaha MT-120 multitrack cassette recorder, a Roland SP-404SX sampler and a bunch of stompboxes, most prominently a Jomox T-Resonator. None of the tracks were arranged, edited or mastered on a computer but only performed live by Last Unit.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<div class="para" style="height: 10em; background-image: url(/images/crystal.jpg)"></div>
|
||||
> "All that is visible must grow beyond itself, and extend into the realm of the invisible." (TRON)
|
||||
|
||||
The obvious medium for the final work was an electromagnetic one. In addition to the digital album available on Bandcamp I produced a limited edition of 20 numbered low-bias ferric cassette tapes for extra background hiss and subtle flutter backing up the drones. It includes the two bonus tracks "Pearly I/O" and "Sas Nam" not available on the digital album. The tape comes with a standard case and 160g/m² j-card with photographs, stickers and a signed note.

part 1: The audience is presented with two adjacent screens representing two separate, but interwoven worlds that attempt to communicate – between each other and the performer on stage. The installation wants to share the experience of the refiguring multiple travelling affinities in the real and the virtual world. It’s a glimpse into the journey of hypertextual flesh through timespace, exposed to a constant stream of information and emotion from the future and the past – poetry that will prevail. performed on October 26, 2010 at Pa Besök, Malmö, Sweden

I was invited by the DokfestLounge to play at their Opening Party. DokfestLounge is the audiovisual arts side-festival of the DOKFest film-festival in Kassel. As a tribute to the film-festival's focus on documentaries I decided to do a "dérive" performance. During the day I drifted aimlessly through the city of Kassel and recorded subjective moments and impressions on the way. All and only this material was mixed and edited live during the night's performance to the music of Kool Mister DJ.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to Claire and Jan of DokfestLounge Kassel for the invitation and local support.

*[eff-eff], [da-bl eff]* - visual performers group pseudonym. joint venture of the video artists [**fRED**](http://visualberlin.org/artist/fRED) and **Kiritan Flux** from Berlin. Both share a cranky affinity towards pixilated and pixelated substance and appearance. fRED and Flux complement each other in their perception of the need to explore asetetic frontiers, experiment with geek technologies and actively get involved in the vj scene, pushing it towards a more cooperative self-conception.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
=ff= are dealing with the issue of communication between the visual artist and the obsever, trying to extract the VJ’s position from being a stark and stiff nerd gazing at a laptop screen in a dark corner of the stage towards a respected appearance as visual performer. The =ff= method to achieve this is presenting an exaggerated self glorification withing the narrative content of the shown short-films on screen and on stage at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The presented stories of a =ff= narrative ego performance consist mainly of wild documentaries of their travel journeys, filmed and produced till the last second before their presentation. Not until they are driectly inside the environment of their planned presentation, =ff= equip themselves with odd costumes, film each other within the foreign set of their surrounding and spontaneously interweave fictional actions and short narratives. The shots work without sound, without script and without editing and they represent a radically egocentric type of video journalism in the subversive tradition of “gonzo” pioneer Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson once stated, that “true gonzo reporting needs the talents of a master journalist, the eye of an artist/photographer and the heavy balls of an actor. […] Probably the closest analogy to the ideal would be a film director/producer who writes his own scripts, does his own camera work and somehow manages to film himself in action, as the protagonist or at least a main character.” =ff= push it even a step further and appear as exclusive presentators of their films - but in the role of the gonzo protagonists of their nonlinear video documentaries. Every presentation represents a unique premiere, because the cutting happens in real-time and is irreproducable in its momentary aestetics.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Thus, =ff= succeed in merging all the different paradigms known under the abbreviation “VJ”. Besides their appearance as gonzo “Video-Journalists”, they are cheeky “video jockeys” of the MTV generation, who present their self-made music clips to the public, and at the same time they eventually are ordinary “Visual Jockeys” from the illustrious underground club culture of Berlin, who can do their run-of-the-mill nerdcore flicker VJ standard program as well.

Yesterday I had the honor to participate at the second edition of
|
||||
'Flimmerkiste', the regional VJ gathering in Mannheim. The meeting place
|
||||
was the lounge area of Zeitraumexit close to the industrial harbor of
|
||||
Mannheim, the same location where last year's [B-Seite VJ
|
||||
festival](http://jetztkultur.de/bseite/de+en/ "B-Seite") took place. The
|
||||
round of attendees was small but select:
|
||||
[Pixelschubser](http://www.benjaminjantzen.de/ "VJ Pixelschubser"), [VJ
|
||||
Tenner](http://www.vjtenner.com/ "VJ Tenner"),
|
||||
[TimVis](http://timvis.de/ "VJ TimVis") and myself among a small group
|
||||
of curious young people from the national theater.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The formal part of the meeting was rather short - i felt a bit
|
||||
flattered, receiving a free beer to celebrate the ['5 years of
|
||||
flux'](http://blog.kiritanflux.de/2009/05/28/5-years-of-flux/ "5 years of flux")
|
||||
anniversary - so I hoped we would quickly continue to the next point:
|
||||
AVIT Networking. We talked a bit about the planned issues and read
|
||||
through some text but eventually Pixelschubser decided to write down
|
||||
some info text about B-Seite at some point later.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Finally we proceeded to the most fun part of the evening: guerilla
|
||||
wildscreening in downtown Mannheim. Armed with a gasoline electricity
|
||||
generator, a nice 5000 ANSI projector, manfrotto tripod, V4 and laptops
|
||||
we walked through the Kreuzberg'ish 'Jungbusch' area towards the center
|
||||
marketplace where the huge city hall is located.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Equipment was set up quickly and we had a lot of fun, doing spontaneous
|
||||
mapping masks, jamming along, spreading Flimmerkiste flyers to curious
|
||||
bystanders. The cops came twice, but rather because of curiosity than
|
||||
maintenance of public order. Timing was perfect, because when the VJs
|
||||
really started to get groovy, the illumination of the city hall got
|
||||
switched off and we had the whole building just for ourselves.

|
||||
|
||||
The evening in Mannheim was a lot of inspiration and fun and I was glad
|
||||
to be part of it. Frankly, the VJs around here seem a lot more
|
||||
spontaneous and kicking than most of us guys in Berlin - since we
|
||||
planned such a guerilla projection night forever without ever doing it.

Title: Guter VJ, schlechter VJ - das ewige Thema

<small>(dieser artikel liegt bei mir schon ewig in der warteschleife und
|
||||
wird jetzt endlich mal rausgehauen)</small>
|
||||
|
||||
Die Frage wann ein VJ 'gut' oder 'nicht so gut' ist wurde schon
|
||||
unzählige Male unter Kollegen am Kneipentresen und auf vielen
|
||||
VJ-Festivals diskutiert und meist gerät man in endlose
|
||||
Diskussionsschleifen über Ästhetik und technisches Know-How. Einen
|
||||
gemeinsamen Nenner zu finden ist häuftig schwierig, denn trotz der
|
||||
grenzenlosen technischen Gesichtspunkte bleibt die Diskussion über das
|
||||
VJing letztendlich eine Diskussion über Kunst und diese scheitert in der
|
||||
Regel an dem Punkt darüber objektiv urteilen zu können.
|
||||
|
||||
Bei [vjcentral.de](http://vjcentral.de "vjcentral.de"), der
|
||||
erfreulicherweise mittlerweile wieder sehr aktiven Plattform der
|
||||
deutschsprachigen VJ-Szene, existiert seit 2007 ein nicht
|
||||
totzukriegender
|
||||
[Diskussionsthread](http://www.vjcentral.de/topic.php?tid=141 "vjcentral.de"),
|
||||
der sich genau dieser Frage widmet und eine Zusammenfassung darüber ist
|
||||
schon längst überfällig:
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- PELICAN_END_SUMMARY -->
|
||||
|
||||
[Pixelschubser](http://www.benjaminjantzen.de/) versucht, die Qualitäten
|
||||
eines VJs an der Nachvollziehbarkeit und Finesse der Umsetzung seines
|
||||
VJ-Sets festzumachen und bezieht sich dabei auf Aussagen von Paul
|
||||
Spinrad, dem Autor des VJ-Books. Er zieht einen Hierarchiebogen vom DVD
|
||||
rippenden und Internet-Clip sammelnden Sample-VJ über den kreativen VJ,
|
||||
der eigenes Material filmt und am Rechner produziert bis hin zum
|
||||
genialen VJ-Nerd, der seine eigene Soft- und Hardware bastelt.
|
||||
Pixelschubser's Qualitätsmaßstab ist Neugier - wenn er sich bei der
|
||||
Betrachtung eines VJ-Sets fragt, wie zum Teufel das gemacht wurde, dann
|
||||
bedeutet es für ihn Qualität.
|
||||
|
||||
[VJSAW](http://www.vjsaw.com/) hält diesen Maßstab für unzureichend und
|
||||
hält dagegen, dass ein guter Musiker ja auch nicht nur gut ist, wenn er
|
||||
sein eigenes Instrument bauen kann, sondern was am Ende dabei rauskommt.
|
||||
Für VJSAW ist die Qualität eher eine emotionale Reaktion des Betrachters
|
||||
- "weg geflasht sein" von dem was man sieht bedeutet Qualität. Er räumt
|
||||
jedoch ein, dass man bei der ganzen Diskussion festhalten sollte, auf
|
||||
welcher Ebene man hier über Kunst redet. Seiner Meinung nach hätte diese
|
||||
im Club-Kontext genauso wenig verloren wie Free Jazz auf einer
|
||||
Schlagerparty.
|
||||
|
||||
Ratman wirft ein, dass allein die Betrachtung von Technik und
|
||||
Individualität der Inhalte auch nicht der Frage nach Qualität gerecht
|
||||
werden, sondern allein das Ergebnis. Als Beispiel nennt er Chris
|
||||
Cunningham's genialen [Star Wars
|
||||
Remix](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxchw646zs4), bei dem weder
|
||||
Inhalt, noch Technik besonders innovativ waren, das Ergebnis aber
|
||||
trotzdem sehr respektabel ist.
|
||||
|
||||
[Stadkind](http://schallbild.de/) schließt sich mit der Aussage an, dass
|
||||
der eigene Style am wichtigsten sei. Das Ziel sollte sein, dass sich die
|
||||
Besucher nach einer Veranstaltung positiv an das VJ-Set oder die
|
||||
positive Ausstrahlung der visuellen Atmosphäre erinnern. Als Seitenhieb
|
||||
zu Pixelschubsers anfänglich geäußerten technokratischen Hierarchie
|
||||
stellt er fest, dass ein Bäcker auch nicht dann gut sei, wenn er seinen
|
||||
eigenen Ofen baue.
|
||||
|
||||
Ein VJ Neuling und ehemaliger Lightjockey schaltet sich in die
|
||||
Diskussion ein und stellt fest, dass ihm die Reaktionen und das positive
|
||||
Feedback seitens der feiernden Besucher am wichtigsten sei - woraufhin
|
||||
movebandit sich zu der Aussage hinreißen lässt, dass man nicht einfach
|
||||
alle VJs über einen Kamm scheren könne, da es ganz klar zwei Richtungen
|
||||
gebe: den "Künstler-Typ" und den "Unterhalter-Typ", die man in der
|
||||
Qualitätsbetrachtung unterscheiden müsse. Dieses Statement trifft auf
|
||||
allgemeine Zustimmung.
|
||||
|
||||
[Titcher](http://www.myspace.com/dertitcher "MySpace Link") und Ratman
|
||||
diskutieren über die Frage, ob solch eine Kategorisierung überhaupt
|
||||
sinnvoll ist. Titcher meint, solange man sich als VJ immer
|
||||
weiterentwickeln möchte und es immer etwas gibt, was man besser machen
|
||||
könne, sei man gut. So bald man mit sich rundum zufrieden sei, wechsle
|
||||
man zum VJ Typ "Unterhalter" und entwickle sich nicht weiter. Ratman
|
||||
hält Kategorisierungen für unsinnig und findet es müßig darüber zu
|
||||
streiten.
|
||||
|
||||
[Yochee](http://www.7dex.de/) greift den Diskussionsfaden auf und
|
||||
findet, man müsse den Spagat schaffen, sich mit der eigenen Arbeit zu
|
||||
identifizieren und sich treu zu bleiben und gleichzeitig der Masse zu
|
||||
gefallen, für die man ja schließtlich die Visuals präsentiert. Er
|
||||
schließt mit einem Zitat Picassos:
|
||||
|
||||
"*Seit die Kunst nicht mehr die Nahrung der Besten ist, kann der
|
||||
Künstler seine Talente für alle Wandlungen und Launen seiner Phantasie
|
||||
verwenden. Alle Wege stehen einem intellektuellen Scharlatanismus offen.
|
||||
Das Volk findet in der Kunst weder Trost noch Erhebung. Aber die
|
||||
Raffinierten, die Reichen, die Nichtstuer und die Effekthascher suchen
|
||||
in ihr Neuheit, Seltsamkeit, Originalität, Verstiegenheit und
|
||||
Anstößigkeit. Seit dem Kubismus, ja schon früher, habe ich selbst alle
|
||||
diese Kritiker mit zahllosen Scherzen zufriedengestellt, die mir
|
||||
einfielen und die sie um so mehr bewunderten, je weniger sie ihnen
|
||||
verständlich waren. Durch diese Spielereien, diese Rätsel und Arabesken
|
||||
habe ich mich schnell berühmt gemacht. Und der Ruhm bedeutet für den
|
||||
Künstler: Verkauf, Vermögen, Reichtum. Ich bin heute nicht nur berühmt,
|
||||
sondern auch reich. Wenn ich aber allein mit mir bin, kann ich mich
|
||||
nicht als Künstler betrachten im großen Sinne des Wortes. Große Maler
|
||||
waren Giotto, Tizian, Rembrandt und Goya. Ich bin nur ein Spaßmacher,
|
||||
der seine Zeit verstanden hat und alles, was er konnte, herausgeholt hat
|
||||
aus der Dummheit, der Lüsternheit und Eitelkeit seiner Zeitgenossen.*"
|
||||
|
||||
nonsleep hat vor ein paar Tagen den Thread wiederbelebt und meint dazu,
|
||||
dass es ihm immer wichtig gewesen sei, dass seine Visuals "tanzbar" sind
|
||||
und für ihn ein VJ dann 'gut' ist, wenn dieser die Stimmung auffängt,
|
||||
wiederspiegelt und in die Höhe treibt. Wenn er ein Gefühl für
|
||||
Bildharmonie und Rythmus hat...das Ganze eben ein Gesamtes gibt.
|
||||
|
||||
Den Thread gibt es [hier bei
|
||||
vjcentral.de](http://www.vjcentral.de/topic.php?tid=141 "vjcentral.de")
|
||||
|
||||
Die Frage nach der Qualitätsbewertung eines VJs wird warscheinlich nie
|
||||
klar beantwortet werden können und immer ein subjektives Thema bleiben,
|
||||
jedoch lohnt es sich, darüber weiter zu diskutieren und die Diversität
|
||||
der Aussagen als Gesamtergebnis zu betrachten. Kunst bleibt Kunst und
|
||||
ebenso die Frage ob und in wie weit VJing überhaupt Kunst ist.

The live modular techno duo [*#INSTANTBONER*](http://instantboner.wtf) invited me to support them at the *Performance and Visual Artist Club Festival* at Burg Schnabel & Birgit und Bier in Berlin. I created and set up an installation based on stacking several CRT TV monitors into a pyramid and use that as the only light-source of the stage in a room filled with fog. The content shown consisted of impromptu visuals performed live.

Summary: Volatile Live Visuals for the modular techno duo INSTANT on different occasions in Berlin.
|
||||
|
||||
The live modular techno duo #INSTANTBONER, later #INSTANT, invited me to jam along with them in their studio. The duo is Johannes Steyer and Matthias Millhoff. I use only volatile clips recorded from a USB microscope / macro-camera into a custom *Max/Jitter* patch that loops and transmits them via *Spout* to my VJ Software for further processing.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides a few jams I also used this method for live-performances.

Summary: Jerusalem dérive video performance with Israeli musician Ori Alboher, with support from Tlalit

|
||||
|
||||
I was invited by the *Jewish Cultural Festival Kraków* to develop and perform an audiovisual show together with Israeli musician *Ori Alboher*. The topic of the festival was *Jerusalem*. I decided to do one of my [dérive video performances](http://flux.vision/tag/derive.html). [Tlalit](http://tlal.it) and I travelled to the city of *Jerusalem* and we both filmed impressions of the street-life, architecture and hidden places. Tlalit grew up there, so she knew many great areas I could have not found by myself.
|
||||
|
||||
At the festival in *Kraków* I used only that material for the songs played by *Ori* during our concert. It was a multi-screen presentation with half transparent screens.
|
||||
|
||||
All filmed video material was donated to the festival for free use under a *Creative Commons* license and was re-used by [Elektro Moon Vision](http://elektromoon.co.nr) for several projections around the festival.

Summary: Closing out the live visuals career as 'Kiritan Flux'
|
||||
|
||||
Under the nom de guerre of "Kiritan Flux" I performed as a live visual artist and VJ in Berlin and beyond from 2003 until 2021. The work ranged from visual shows at prominent techno events such as Time Warp or Sonus Festival to more conceptual live-cinema performances built for one room and one night.
|
||||
|
||||
It did not start as a career. For years it ran alongside regular jobs in web, e-learning and video production, on nights and weekends, until at some point the proportions reversed and it became the thing I actually did.
|
||||
|
||||
> *flux* [flûks], n. Lat. _fluxus_, _fluo_, _fluxi_.
|
||||
|
||||
> 1. The act of flowing; the motion or passing of a fluid.
|
||||
> 2. The moving or passing of any thing in continued succession.

|
||||
|
||||
The last VJ show was Connect in Düsseldorf, September 2019. Then the venues closed. By the time they opened again I had a day job and a kid who got up at seven, and I was done with nights that ended at eight in the morning. I made one exception: ten years of Clujotronic, October 2021. I could never say no to that team, or to the artists they put me with.
|
||||
|
||||
So this is an archive rather than a portfolio. It is closed and I am not taking bookings. Whether it stays closed I honestly do not know. This whole thing started as a sideline to a day job, so I have stopped making predictions about it.

||||

||||

The world of contemporary music celebrated the 90th birthday of Hungarian composer [György Kurtág](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/György_Kurtág). Interpreting this influential oeuvre of contemporary classical music, the Collegium Hungaricum Berlin dedicated a special event to Kurtág on 8 March 2016, presenting two concerts. One of them was a live concert of The Spontaneous Arkestra led by the legendary fusion musician, composer and conceptualist [Jean-Paul Bourelly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Bourelly) through the use of Conduction to command the orchestra and reflect on Kurtág's works. By its nature, Conduction method liberates both conductor and musicians from the traditional boundaries of musical rules, habits and conventions, making the collaboration more spontaneous and surprising the audience with unexpected turns.
|
||||
|
||||
[Tlalit](http://tlal.it) and I did a visual improvisation for the concert. The used material consisted only of macro-videography of the stage and instruments of the musicians shot during the rehearsals the day before by Tlalit. This base material was modified and mixed live by me and masked with music inspired live drawings with [Alchemy](http://al.chemy.org) by Tlalit.
