Blip Festival 2012 NYC with Hand-Ons Events

Blip Festival NYC 2012
"NEW YORK, NY - Thrift-store electronics collide with dancefloor sensibilities as Blip Festival makes its long-awaited return to New York City. Produced by 8bitpeoples in association with The Tank and Live Nation, the Blip Festival 2012 finds Manhattan once again at the center of the chipmusic universe. From May 25-27, musicians and visualists from all corners of the globe assemble at the Gramercy Theatre to perform astonishing music & motion graphics, produced on & inspired by early-generation home computers and gaming consoles.

The Blip Festival Blog launches with artist interviews and the debut of a short documentary film by 2PLAYERPRODUCTIONS. The 10 minute piece documents the 2011 edition of Blip that took place at the Eyebeam Art & Technology Center last May. The past few years have seen 2PLAYERPRODUCTIONS move on from their humble origins documenting the first Blip Festival in their feature length debut Reformat the Planet, to leading high profile Kickstarter campaigns for documentaries about game industry heavyweights Mojang and Doublefine.

Blip Festival New York 2011

"Those who were present at the 2007 Blip Festival (and those who drooled over the subsequent YouTube videos) can attest to the event's unique energy and atmosphere, owing in no small part to that edition's appropriately Spartan-yet-techy environment.

So we're pleased to announce that this year, Blip Festival New York returns to Manhattan art space Eyebeam, from May 19th through May 21st, for three consecutive days of music, motion graphics, workshops & presentations, and unconventional devices doing unconventional things.

"'Pleasure Construct' by Nullsleep, performed September 4 at Koenji High as part of the Blip Festival Tokyo concert event.

nullsleep.com/​bio.php

Nullsleep is the alias of Jeremiah Johnson, an electronic musician whose style could best be described as post-cyberpunk: a combination of distorted synthpop, electro, and industrial produced with repurposed low-bit electronics. His approach embraces the politics of appropriation, leveraged limitations, destructive process and data corruption. The result is a wall of digital noise driven by a heavy beat, expanding and collapsing in a series of glitches and drones emanating from cheap plastic devices. In 1999 Nullsleep cofounded 8bitpeoples, a collective of artists interested in the audio-visual aesthetics of early home computers and video game consoles. He has since released a number of recordings through 8bitpeoples, Astralwerks, Aniplex and others. Based in New York City, Nullsleep has performed over 150 shows throughout North America, Europe and Asia, including successful world tours in 2006 and 2009.

The Blip Festival takes place DECEMBER 4—7, 2008 at The Bell House, and is presented by Manhattan art organization THE TANK and NYC artist collective 8BITPEOPLES.
