Video by Carrie Gates: “A portrait of a portrait of a portrait of NN”
The images for this work were created in 2003 for a project where Carrie used a piece of OS9 software art by Adrian Ward called “A portrait of Netochka Nezvanova” to create a generative video collage of a collection of over 10 000 .psd files Carrie had prepared on the topic of “cyberculture”. This video is the remix, prepared in Feb. 2013 for an online exhibition by Ellectra Radikal and Systaime Alias Michael Borras at cupcake.spamm.fr/.

Carrie Gates Interviewed on Swiss TV Talk Show “Meet The Artists” With Hannes Hug
When I was in Lucerne, Switzerland a few weeks ago performing at the Blue Balls Festival, I was interviewed on a Swiss television talk show called “Meet The Artists” with Hannes Hug. I decided that in order to ease my nerves, I would turn the interview around on him and make the host the star by hijacking the scene and making him act out a video shoot with me. I directed him to pretend he was in a fancy little getup and a pink wig for me and got him to werk it on camera! It was a lot of fun!
VJ Carrie Gates Audiovisual Show at the Blue Balls Festival in Luzerne, Switzerland, 2012

This respected jazz festival was celebrating not only it’s 20th anniversary, but also the attendance of over 100 000 people. I commissioned DJs to create custom mixes for me to use in the project, including Sarah Adorable, Dreamaniac, Cheeky, Helium 3, DJ Mehta, and Dr. J.
