As always NEoN celebrates its festival with a late night party. Acts include Plastique Fantastique, Verity Brit & Musician U, Fallope & The Tubes and Resident DJ RHL. With a pop up bar and performances amongst our large group exhibition the vast factory space West Ward Works, this night promises to be a visual audible delight.
Plastique Fantastique (UK)
A performance fiction envisaged as a group of human and non-human avatars delivering communiqués from the past and the future. The communiqués are channelled through installations, writing, comics and sound and moving image work and performances, addressing technology, popular and mass media and sacred cultures and also human-machine animals and non-human entities and agents. Over several years, numerous people have produced Plastique Fantastique but there is also a core group producing the performance fiction. Plastique Fantastique was first presented by David Burrows and Simon O’Sullivan and developed with long-term collaborators Alex Marzeta and Vanessa Page, and more recently with Mark Jackson. For NE0N 2017, this group will call forth and trap a bit-coin-fairy-spirit to ask it seems questions. The performance – Plastique Fantastique Protocols for the Society for Cutting Up Mun-knee-snakers (S.C.U.M.): I-Valerie-Solaris-AKA-@32ACP-Amazon.co.uk-recommends-‘Pacific-Rim’ may/may-not shoot b1t-c0in-f@iry-sp1r1t) – uses drone-folk-songs, moving image projection, reliquaries and ritual to manifest the block-chain-spirit.
David Burrows, Alex Marzeta, Vanessa Page and Mark Jackson will be performing.
Rites of the Zeitgeber, Verity Brit & Musician ‘U’ (UK)
9 channel video installation, live score performed by musician ‘U’
The Zeitgeber (‘time giver’ or ‘synchroniser’) is honoured by a triadic henge of stacked CRT monitors in which past durations collide with future vacuums. Strange extra-terrestrial topographies are traversed across geological time and the internet. Curious substances are unearthed and lost languages resurrected. Fragments from Mina Loy, J. G. Ballard and Henri Bergson emerge amongst an archaeology of media from Super 8, VHS, to HD. Time bends from matter, history is up-set and the clock is obsolete.
Verity Birt an artist based in London. She studied an MA in Moving Image at the Royal College of Art (2013–2015) and BA in Art Practice at Goldsmiths University of London (2008–2011). She is involved with collaborative research groups; The Future is a Collective Project, Reconfiguring Ruins and a founding member of women artists collective Altai. This summer, Verity was artist in residence at BALTIC and The Newbridge Project in Newcastle. Previous exhibitions include: Our House of Common Weeds; Res.

Fallopé & The Tubes (UK)
A weirdo-punk performance band. Each live show features live humans! film and visuals! costumes! sculpture! visual props! and music/a sequence of sounds!

The group was established in January 2014 at Insriach Bothy, Aviemore and have developed their practice during numerous residency experiences across Scotland. By living and working together ‘off grid’ the group have developed experimental techniques to create a collective energy.

DJ RHL (UK)
Resident NEoN DJ has been entertaining us since 2010. Djing for about 25 years, he predominately plays Techno but you often find him playing anything dance music related. Spinning old school vinyl sets containing an eclectic mix of old and new stuff. RHL just likes making people dance. Check here for past performances.
Accompanying DJ RHL is ‘The Wanderer‘ aka Naomi Lamb. Naomi works layers of diverse video loops into an ever evolving collage colours textures and shape and intuitively mixies visuals live. She improvises, freestyles and channels the room, customising the ephemeral moving collage in response to the tone of the happening.
For the past 20 years Naomi has been a prolific live video art performer utilising techniques and process that is often associated with the ever growing subculture of VJing and presents under the name of ‘The Wander’. Naomi has an intimate knowledge of not only the process of live video performance but also an wide reaching connections within the VJ community and has performed at many of the leading outdoor music and art festivals in New Zealand with a debut at two English Festivals this summer and she is super please for her first time mixing it up in Scotland to be at NEoN. “
AGK Booth
Yuck ’n Yum hereby invites you to attend the Annual General Karaoke booth at this year’s NEoN at Night. The AGK is a fiercely contested karaoke video competition, getting creative types to make videos that will shock, delight and confound its audience. First staged back in 2010, over the years the AGK has built up a sizeable back catalogue of singalong anthems encompassing everything from pop classics to the most extreme avant garde out there. Now Yuck ’n Yum will bring the AGK archive to NEoN revellers in an audiovisual extravaganza that will overturn everything you ever thought you knew about karaoke convention. This November, Yuck ’n Yum together with NEoN are making a song and dance about it.
About the Artists Yuck ‘n Yum is a curatorial collective formed in Dundee 2008. Until 2013 its main raison d’etre was to make zines and distribute art. The AGK booth is the first of three projects that will kick start a period of activity after a couple of years of hibernation.
Yuck ‘n Yum are Andrew Maclean, Gayle Meikle, Ben Robinson, Alexandra Ross, Alex Tobin, Becca Clark and Morgan Cahn.

I wanted to take some photos today (trying out my brand new Nikon D3200), so I went looking for a subject I hadn't photographed yet. I've shot spring flowers a dozen times, but never my dad's old 8N tractor. It's 62 years old, but he still uses it on a regular basis. It once belonged to his father (my grandfather, whom I barely remember as a crew cut old man sitting in an easy chair), and it has memories embedded in every greasy crack and pore. If farm equipment could talk, this piece would have stories to tell.

Tank engine 63095 shunts coal wagons and to help it through he day has an improvised coal tender itself. Quite a nifty bit of modelling.
Seen at Derby Moel Rail Show 2017.
I think the layout was Rowntree Halt.

A lone, feather earring found in the back alley this morning makes a dandy Christmas tree ornament.
As photographed while watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas" this evening after work. Ahhhhh.
Getting home after work today was quite the challenge. The northbound CTA Red Line was going only as far as the Addison station (where Wrigley Field is) due to police activity at the Wilson stop, two stops north of Addison. Here's a link to the story from the Chicago Tribune: www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-police-act...
My stop is eight stops north of Addison.
They were running an alternate northbound bus for Red Line riders, but thinking I was outsmarting the hoards of evening commuters, I walked west on Addison to Broadway, intending to catch the northbound 36 bus. As it turned out, a crowd of people also had the same idea.
So after walking north on Broadway to the northbound 151 bus stop, I was able to board.
The problem was that *both* northbound 151's were going only as far as Foster, which is still a good ways from where I live.
So after deboarding at Foster, I boarded a 136 which basically brought me to my front doorstep.
It was such a relief to be home. Then Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang popped up on TV and made everything better.

Two cd's glued together with some velcro'ed textile band.
I came up with a very improvised but also a very quick and easy Quadra headcover.
Made with stuff most people will have laying around.
I glued two CD's together with two strips of fabric in between. The fabric has Velcro on one side
( I actually used the fasteners that came with the PLM's)
I already had velcro on the Quadra reflector, I use that to attach gels.
