What you will see is...!!
As an increasingly-sought after VJ Shantell has created two unique art forms both proudly low-tech which allow her to bring her work to a wider, club-going audience. One, which she calls PPP (pen, paper, projector), involves her covering the walls with lines and images to sounds of an eclectic mix of live performances. She sees herself as providing a "visual connection between the audience and the performers".
For the slightly more hi-tech LCI, or Live Club Illustration, she uses a Wacom tablet (kind of like a grown-up, electronic version of Etch-a-Sketch) and one or more projectors to draw and erase, with the use of negative space and audience interaction playing an important part in the creation of the images. (This is what you will all be able to experience at this event).
Shantell Martin's Profile:
Since graduating from London's Central Saint Martins University of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Graphic Design/Illustration in 2003, Shantell Martin has redefined the concept of drawing using it as a base from which to storm the fashion, music and club worlds. Currently based in Tokyo, she collaborates with designers, musicians, DJs and her audience to produce fresh, continually evolving art and design that challenge, inspire, amaze and mystify.
