Dublin based animator and VJ Eoghan Kidney presents the StreamLounge, a space set up at the ICA to vision mix between streaming online videos. It's a perfect excuse to play with live mix-ups of audio and video, creating and rearranging works into a live video stream controlled by a single user.
StreamLounge lets you evade rational analysis, and bring subtle or not-so-subtle new meanings to the chaos of the internet's immense video libraries. The lounge is an experiment in a screening environment inspired by Web 2.0 user-controlled content, and might just be a hint of how we enjoy our social cinema time in the future.
