Talk by Rodney Berry 7.30 pm at the Lighthouse Media Centre, Brighton followed by works in progress at Sumo Bar, Brighton.

The first Blip meeting featured Australian artist Rodney Berry, currently based at the ATR research labs in Kyoto, Japan. Rod presented an overview of his work, ranging from his early sculptures (Vital Organ) and tinkered-together instruments (Percy's Laundry Organ) to some of his latest work, including the interactive, biologically-inspired music environments Listening Sky and Feeping Creatures.

After the talk there were three works in progress downstairs in the Sumo bar:

Sam Woolf's interactive sound installation The Sound Gallery;

James Mandelis' evolutionary music performance system Genophone, that can be controlled in real-time using a data glove;

ROYGBIV, a three screen generative film piece by Andy Webster.
