Following on the heels of last week’s successful Overlap Salon in Berkeley, come and be a part of the inception of Overlap events in Australia with the first Overlap Salon Melbourne! Loop, 6-8.30pm 23 Meyers Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000, (03) 9654 0500 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.
