VJ Highlight : [amoeba]

[amoeba] and ArKaos: (extract from the interview)
"I like using ArKaos for its simplicity and for its real time effects over treated and synched a/v pieces. I also find it really reliable for live usage and for presentations.

I have found that you can bounce your DV footage back through a camera without having to render it which I find invaluable, and as for live hands on feedback no other software has had as much impact on teaching and training lessons/seminars that i give to people. Its real time manipulation really starts to give people ideas when they see it in action, and I have already used it for "Live Cinema" experiments using narrative videos and anim's".

Self-presentation:
[amoeba] was originally set up in 1995 to provide creative motion graphics for clients in the music, design, TV and club world. Inspired by thee designers republic, underground resistance, robert anton wilson, thee meteors, psychic TV and crowley,

[amoeba] was my vehicle for audio visual typographical semantic trickery, and proceeded to provide graphics, promo videos, live mixing and motion graphic work for the likes ov Soma records, channel4, andrew wetherall, Slam, muzik magazine, Percy X, Jeff mills, rub a dub records, the rotters golf club,transient records and ritchie hawtin throughout the 1990\'s, Amoeba also set up and provided the digital source material and graphics content for the scottish vj crew A.\'.A.\'.A who performed live all over thee uk and europe.

The [amoeba] style is highly creative, contemporary and graphical, utilising and combining creative 3d typographical animated montages with heavily treated and edited narrative video scenes and animations.
