I had a chance a few days ago to be exposed to some transcendental artist- a scene that I am guessing is pretty big here in Byron. It was interesting to see the art and listen to some of the artists talk but what really blew me away was this guy- Andrew "Android" Jones, or just Android. He is an artist who is from the U.S. and did work with major video game creators and other pretty major gigs. He ended up leaving that world and now does illustration for music festivals but he does it live. He tours with artist and draws as they play and his drawing are projected. He has started doing another thing where he coordinates dancers with his drawing and music to create this amazing new combination of performance arts. This video doesn't really do it justice- seeing him do it live with a woman dancer at the cultural center here was really quite amazing. Check him out- he is very talented and it is amazing how he does so much of his work live. It turns art from a individual experience to a very open space for a community to enjoy. Oh, and he also projected onto the Sydney Opera House earlier this year- amazing.
