Interzone, another homage that’s also a cut-up
| May 5th, 2009fat_butcher, a lo-fi, London-based visual artist, video jockeyed a show last month at The Synergy Centre near London’s Oval tube station.
The show, dubbed INTERZONE, included work inspired by and relating to the alternate reality with which its name is derived. For his part, fat_butcher says,
I took my cue from Burroughs’ cut-up technique to create more of a textured mash-up for the night. The city skylines flythrough is a nod to both the name of the event and the organisers, a breakneck rush through notional boundaries around arbitrary territories. I tried to give the sense of unexplored depths and dangerous transgression. Lewd dancing, warfare, sunbleached colour and weatherbeaten veneers, crusty beatboxes, digital soundwaves, lo-fi wifi, music for the deaf and signs for the blind. Misinterpreted memories, mumbled declarations, obscured lights and glittering shadows.
