Viral Venture : Joseph Nechvatal Film To Be Screened At MUBE [63]
This digital video is an extract from Viral Venture - a digital art projection (and/or ongoing installation) by the artist Joseph Nechvatal with a musical score by the composer Rhys Chatham. The film will join several others in an evening of film for Um Livro Sobre A Morte at MUBE, São Paulo, Brazil.
The Viral Venture projection consists of Nechvatals most recent artificial-life computer virus attacking his digital images. It acts in real time as modeled on the biological viral mode as programmed by Stephane Sikora in C++.
Rhys Chathams score consists of his 2005 composition for 400 electric guitars entitled A Crimson Grail, commissioned by Nuit Blanche. It was performed and recorded at the Sacré-Coeur Basilica in Paris.
Dates for the film screening, and other films, are to be announced shortly.

Oh my, what an engaging video... Wow. It is perfect to be presented at the same time as the MUBE exhibition "Um Livro Sobre A Morte, A Book About Death." Love it! MT
