Jason Bruges & PSP

Yesterday I attended Friday Late at the V&A Museum. This event is on the last Friday of each month and is centred around a theme or exhibition, the evenings feature live performances, guest DJ’s and often hands-on activities as well as a late bar. This month was hosted by Playstation Portable.

PSP

Jason Bruges Studio created a chandelier with 50 small TFT screens hanging from it. They created video content for a PSP, which was then broken up via a grid on to each of the small screens. The PSP video was then fed into a computer, where Isadora software was used to split the signal into components, through multiple outputs and up to the chandelier. Here are my Flickr Photos and a quick poor quality video (962kb).

Also Playstation promotions staff were on hand to give you a demo of the PSP, plus lending out PSPs to play with exclusive content. Designers Intro were running a workshop studying unconcious explorations of mind mapping and thought patterning. There were animation screenings and short films, plus four literary walks through the V&A organised by Zembla Magazine.

Missed it? BBC2 were filming and will be showing the event on the Culture Show, Feb 16th at 7pm.

Next month is going to be awesome.
