Without Effect is an evening of video performance artists improvising with sound artists to create one-off cut up narrative. Moving away from the effects of eye candy demonstrated by most VJs this set of performers will present a new kind of cinema where the final edit simply sets on a valley of dissipated signals.

Featured performances include:

Jackson 2bears performing Dead Injuns - Remix Warz, consisting of the live manipulation (remixing) of audio and video media using digitally encoded vinyl records and specially designed software. Inspired by the need to re-appropriate indigenous identity symbols; this performance explores issues of Native American stereotypes and racism in the media, film and popular culture.

Miriam Needoba remixing excerpts from her latest video The Land of the Lotus Eaters. She will be accompanied by Coin Gutter (Emma Hendrix and Graeme Scott) famous for their macrosonic dissection and cross disciplinary collaboration. Coin Gutter is represented through Montreal's notype, Edmonton's Objectve-Subjective, and their own Vanity Records.

Camille Baker and Peter Lutwyche performing together to present the latest hand-held technology in video capturing. Camille’s footage has been entirely shot in her mobile phone.
