Jonny Wilson from [Eclectic Method](http://eclecticmethod.net) visited our 10th and 11th grade VJ-U classes at [UAMA](http://uamusicandart.org) to give a hands-on show ‘n’ tell with the students. Check out the Flickr set linked below for more pictures of the kids scratching video. 
Thanks, Jonny!
##### Update
We’ve posted videos from Tuesday shot by Jorven (one of our students from last semester, actually) and Dan [on the Internet Archive](http://www.archive.org/details/EclecticMethodVisitsVJ-U-at-UAMA). They’re AVIs so your browser might not be able to play them — if so, let us know in the comments and we’ll put up some friendlier versions.

MIXER, Eyebeam’s new quarterly series showcasing live audio and video performance, launches with Brother Islands, a haunting tableau integrating audio and video recordings, stereographic photos and live theater. Eyebeam Education Fellow Benton-C Bainbridge creates an expanded documentary of North Brother Island half a century since its abandonment, as it fades from New York City’s map and its bleak buildings succumb to nature.
This tiny South Bronx Island was once notorious as a harsh quarantine and locus of misfortunate legends like Typhoid Mary and the General Slocum ferry disaster.
Stick around at 9PM for drinks and an exclusive A/V performance by The Jesse Stiles 3000, Bill Etra and vade.
Brother Islands performance ensemble: Benton-C Bainbridge, Minou Maguna, Ross Goldstein, Ryder Cooley, Dan Winckler, Matthew Schlanger, Jesse Stiles.
The [Circus of Now](http://circusofnow.com) designs and stages large-scale, immersive multimedia events — past clients include BMW, Diesel, UNICEF, Berlin’s Love Parade, Burger King, Sony and Universal Music. Aleksej Schön, director of Circus of Now, joins us on VJ-U to show and tell how CON brings together bleeding edge technology and designer/artists to make jaw-dropping, synaesthetic environments for its clients.
