DJsounds caught up with the US conceptual/video artist Gardner Post to talk about art + technology at the Remix Hotel, at The National in South Beach. The interview is followed by a trip to a nearby apartment to get a special, behind-the-scenes insight into what Gardner’s working on this year – complete with words from celebrity DJ Tom Laroc!
Gardner was in South Beach with his Baby Grand Master creation (an acclaimed DJ/VJ masterpiece, modestly tagged the ‘king of video instruments’) to collaborate with the New York-born, Miami-based hip-hop DJ Tom Laroc/United Content Providers.
DJsounds last spoke to Gardner in 2007 at the Optronica festival, so it was great to see his vision for Baby Grand Master-style video mash-up materialising in such full-on splendour. Enjoy the show.

Fodel and Comerford performed on synchronized laptops with Ableton Live and Kane performed live video from laptop using Max/Msp.
Live improvised experimental techno.

In 1998 I met David Fodel aka devslashnull, and Brian Comerford aka E23, who had created RadioValve.com, one of the first internet radio stations. I joined the RadioValve team as partner in 1999.
The image above is a player which I designed for one of the shows in 2000.
Radiovalve was featured in the Web Radio Book as well as a host of other publications. You can still listen to it online.
Given the success of Christian Rock, I figure Christian Acid can’t be far off.
Christian Acid will provide an uplifting alternative to the rave scene. But when it kicks in, they’ll need plenty of these crack-n-glow crosses to keep the Jesuxtasy crowd thumpin.
