Overlap.org is an online platform for experimental media releases and events. Overlap releases experimental music and videos, produces unique events, and provides a free blog to share your media with others.
Make your way down to Loop to hear Overlap’s Simon Hampson and Jon Phillips speak about the Overlap vision of artistic publishing online, linking online and offline communities, and Jon’s Laoban Speaker Workshop, part of the Vision Forum Melbourne set of art shows and interventions.
This is the launch pad for Melbourne’s very own Overlap Salon Melbourne, focusing on MAX/MSP users, with a very special MAX patch presentation by Josh Batty. You can read a recap about the last Overlap Salon in San Francisco.
Come down for drinks from 6pm. The presentation/workshop will run from 6.30-8.30pm.
