Nerve Festival
The
Nerve Festival of Art, Music, Performance, Animation and Interactivity
was held at the ICA London. September 1999. Organised by Nerve Systems.
Co-directed and curated by Michael Da Costa, Dianne Harris and Clive
Sall. Sponsored by Sony Playstation, MTV, Sunday Express and Sleazenation.
Stem
collaborated with Hexstatic to produce a new version of RAMJAM in
the main bar.
The
theme of the festival was the HUMAN SENSES. The collaboration between
Stem and Hexstatic allowed users to manipulate audiovisual clips relating
to vision, sound, taste, smell and touch.
The
main bar area at the ICA was rigged with sound and video consoles
connected to a sampler and computer. Visitors acted as VJ's and random
sound bite manipulators in tandem with the DJ.
