Supercollision was amazing. Even better than last year's Collision. Last year I made the arcade emulator/projector for people to play with. This year I didn't do anything due to a lack of time. Lots of people from the first one came back to with similar projects, but everyone had tightened up their routine.

Aaron's robot was there again, but now inside a darkened circus with two giant spinning horn drivers spewing out dark ambient while a projector plays abstract organic video on the ceiling. A total sensory mindjob, in addition to a great robot.

There was a cool laser barrier project that made it feel like I was breaking into a bank or something.

Martin Martin had his exoskeleton arm that could be controlled with a telephone touch pad, someone has a picture of me wearing it and being forced to smack Holly around. It was tons 'o fun.

Frostbyte and Carl had their LED stuff out again. Their persistence of vision displays can now do full color photorealistic images, which blows me away. They have also ventured into 2-D with a 2500-LED wall that displays amazing patterns and pulsates. Captivating.

The delightful Erica improved on her spinny nuns thing from last year to make some dancing dolls that started doing their thing when you sat on these wee chairs nearby. Definitely the most whimsical of all the installations.

Add to this the constant live electronic music and video demonstrations and the event kicked so much butt. I feel kinda sorry for Dan, who does all the legwork for this by himself, but I'm so glad he does it. I can't wait for the next one and hopefully I'll have something to contribute. So inspiring...

...so it's a shame I had to miss the after-party at the Cellar to go clean the floor at the warehouse. But at least something is getting done. We now have the metal studs we need to put up walls and the plumbing in the shower room pretty much works. Alex also got most of the lighting working. So tonight we moved all of our shit around as we sanded the floor with a big floor polisher and then shopvac'd it all up. We must have removed a metric ton of funk from the floor. Yuck. Who knew the floor near the bathrooms was actually yellow? Not us...
