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
Urs Leirier from the Blue Balls Festival in Lucerne, Switzerland, commissioned me to create a seven hour HD audiovisual mix. The video was looped for the entire duration of the week-long festival in the open-air rooftop Video Lounge in the KKL. 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.

VJ Carrie Gates screened at Montreal Fetish Week 2011
I had a last minute opportunity last week to create a new video work to be screened at Montreal Fetish Week (Sat. Sept. 3, 2011). Needless to say, I jumped at the chance and created a new 20 minute long video that went along with a live drone performance by the artist Old Wyoming. It was my first completed work completely in black and white, which was exciting to challenge myself with. I’ll post some more pictures when I get the documentation from the wonderful curator of the event, Freida Abtan.

VJ Carrie Gates performs live at the INDEX Festival in New York at the [Mis]Adventures In Manipulation event
Two evenings of performances are dedicated to artists who repurpose, hack or deconstruct tools to produce sound and/or light for time-based performances. The selected artists have built instrumentation using various and varied media formats. In a Frankenstonian spirit, these artists fashion composite instruments, for the purpose of engaging further into the intangible experience. Expanding out, these events will be broadcast both on radio and public television.

Friday Night Main Stage VJ Set at Motion Notion 2011
I had a fantastic time at the Motion Notion festival this year! Excellent company and atmosphere. I have been playing there for six or seven years now and I think this was the most fun yet.
I have a video from my friend Amanda Syryda of a little bit (12 min) of my six hour set. What’s extra fun is that I took a videocamera and screen out there last year and taped some of the fancy people doing their thing and then remixed it on the stage this year, and Amanda was able to get the clip of herself and her friend Letisha (“SaTurn”) Hoop up on the screens. Good times.
Enchanted Groove
This event was a very upbeat little forest themed affair brought to you by one of the grooviest teams I’ve had the pleasure to organize an event with.
I VJed at this event for Dreamaniac, The Depth, DJ Shortcircuit, and DJ Fuuuze. We rocked it – the place was sold out by midnight and the vibe was excellent and warm. Big ups go to my friends Kristen Hodge, Puffy Pop-N-Fresh, and Kiki Roquette for doing the freight elevator costume contest photo booth!
Castle If and Carrie Gates – Live at Jale, June 2011
I recently had the pleasure of performing with Castle If (aka Jess Forrest) in Saskatoon at Jale (the event space above Cafe Sola). She’s a really unique character whom I find quite intriguing…her music is synthy and kraut-influenced, with a splash of sort of an electronic goth vibe.
Check out the videos and see what you think of our fresh collab. I think we’ll be doing this again…

Share NYC at the Issue Project Room, May 2011
When I was in New York recently, I went to the weekly Share event at the Issue Project Room. People bring their projects to show, discuss, and jam with. A lot of people bring custom MIDI controllers, Max/MSP patches, and such…others use it to get feedback on their works in progress, and some come just to jam.
