Howdy all, Amy here… reporting from beautiful not-quite-downtown San Diego, Calif. But just a week and a half ago, on Friday June 20th, I was in beautiful downtown-and-otherwise Aberdeen, as the geek-on-the-street office worker/VJ performance artist. With the help of the Peacock crew, I traveled the streets of Aberdeen in a mobile office VW van, setting up desk chair, computer monitor, and funny gadgets, to do my work-themed psychedelic text visuals at various locations on the streets of Aberdeen. It was a lot of fun, and I was especially impressed with those Aberdeenites who had the nerve to come up to a woman in a silver jacket with a keyboard gaffer taped to her body and a droned-out look on her face and ask, “What are you doing?”
Larger images can be found in my flickr photostream.
Here are some videos. The onscreen visuals look better in YouTube’s high quality setting –
but I can’t get that embedded into WordPress. But you could go to YouTube directly and choose “480p” below the video here and here.

Comment by uebergeek July 3, 2008 @ 5:07 amAwesome! I wish I’d been there… I would have been dancing for sure… and probably in a business suit and tie, too 😉
