The return of Mumblehop
Hello hello,
So, unlike most recent posts here, I am actually writing about something relating to "Mumbleboy".
They have this thing called the PDX Film Fest which happens once a year here and this year's edition which begins tomorrow, Wednsday May 6th, will have the installation "Mumblehop" .
I don't know if there are people reading this blog who has been keeping an eye on my work long enough to remember it, but "Mumblehop" was an installation commissioned by the American Museum of Moving Images (AMMI) back in 2002 which was a collaborative effort with me, Karl Ackermann, E*rock and Karl's brother Oliver Ackermann(he made the pads). It was shown at AMMI and then at a group exhibit called ALT in Pittsburgh later that year. We never documented it very well online, so if you didn't see it at those exhibits, you probably have no idea what it's like.
here's a picture of it I found online.
well, it still probably doesn't give you a good idea of what it is.
It's actually a very simple Flash piece which is projected on a big screen and you could interact with it using floor pads. Thanks to Karl's impeccable programming and awesome music by E*rock, it still feel pretty fresh even after 7 years.
If you're in or around the Portland area, please come and check it out.
The opening is 7pm tomorrow May 6th.
the PDX Fest is going on just 5 days, but the exhibit will be up for a few weeks.
