No wall will go unfestooned when artists bring their own beamer to Pier 2/3.

Overview

All that ideating of Vivid can really take it out of you. Fortunately, on its second weekend, the Vivid Ideas throws up this two-day event to engage us visually rather than intellectually. Get set to see the cavern of Pier 2/3 in a whole new way.

BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer, not booze) is an international event movement where artists congregate with their projectors in tow, filling every wall space with their latest digital imaginings. Feats of 3D projection mapping, interactive interfaces, animations, games — they all play out on the walls while you circulate the room square-eyed.

This local iteration is being put on by the knowledgeable folks from Electrofringe, and they've even roped in original BYOBer Rafael Rozendaal — the New York-based founder and internet artist — for the lineup, along with Kit Webster (Mel), Joe Hamilton (Mel), Optic Soup, Marian Tubbs, Giselle Stanborough, Josh Harle, Pia Van Gelder, La Petite Mort and many others. Fancy beaming a little something yourself? Registration is now open.

Electrolapse BYOB is one of our top ten picks of Vivid Ideas. See the other nine here.
