Veintisiete (Veh-een-tee-see-ay-tay) with Michael Allen and The Eyeonaphere (08:54)
VJ-U's west coast roving reporter Steve Nalepa ventures into the studio of prolific mad scientist VJ Michael Allen. Michael Allen does visual presentations with bands and djs at parties and at clubs using 16mm films, 35mm slides, overhead projectors, and video projectors with effects and a v4 mixer. Over the past 10 years he has rocked visuals for an impressive list of artists including Wu Tang Clan, Bjork, Madlib, De La Soul, Digable Planets, Polyphonic Spree, The Faint, Velvet Revolver, Ozomatli, Jurassic 5 to name a few.
Michael Allen also invented the THE EYEONASPHERE, a white, opaque plastic globe mounted to hinges on the back of a chair. The user puts their head inside of the globe for a sensory experience comparable to 'virtual reality'. There is a video projector shining on the front, with speakers mounted to the inside of the helmet and a fan for ventilation. The experience is like a 'one-man IMAX'... Visuals fill the users entire field of view, seeping into their peripheral to create the illusion of soaring through fractals, high above canyons, or wherever the video sequence takes them.

For this particular adventure, Nalepa brings his impressive UK houseguest along for the ride. *spark is an audio-visual producer and performer, the alter-ego of Toby Harris with an eye for the graphic. Everyone reacts to concrete brutalism differently, and in this case it was embraced with big cameras, clunky video mixers and a lot of bass. Then came digital media and laptops live; what seemed madness suddenly made sense, it all became possible. *spark came out of that realisation, and has pioneered the field ever since. From those early days, *spark has toured the country with fuel records, held long-standing club residencies and performed showcase sets at festivals worldwide. Developing the field, *spark has taken improvisational video into theatre; coordinated visuals talent and technology for festivals and tours; worked with arts education bodies; and helped support and develop realtime video software. *spark is also known for representing vjing, being a leading figure behind vjcentral.com and a founder of its real- world partner AVIT - “the best evidence yet of the burgeoning international community that has grown up around [vjs] art” and “an important internationally focussed event, which has particular significance for burgeoning art forms based on digital technologies”.
