OUTPOST is a night for portable digital artists to come together and share performances and ideas.
OUTPOST is part of the share.global organization which hosts events and workshops in New York, San Diego, Los Angeles (USA), Montreal (Canada), Wiesbaden (Germany), and Stavanger (Sweden).
Held on the last Wednesday night of every month at Horse Bazaar in Melbourne’s CBD. OUTPOST is a mixture of open jam, featured performances and spontaneous workshop and runs much like other SHARE events over the world. We webcast the night live, so even if you can’t get down to Horse Bazaar you can still check out what’s going on.
Here’s how you can be part of an OUTPOST event.
- Check out the main page and find out when and where the next event is happening.
- Come on down. Bring your devices.
- Get there early so you can find out who is on and when. Line up a time of when you might want to play, with what and with who.
- Ask at the bar and they’ll direct you to someone who can help get you sorted with joining in, help setting up & plugging in.
- Usually most nights will start with an open jam. Between sets of featured performances (when we have them) there will be more jamming, so don’t worry if you don’t get in right away. We try to run the night so that everyone gets to play at some stage.
- OUTPOST is run by a core group of sound and video artists so there will always be someone there to play with if you feel like it.
- Check out this for some tips on how to conduct yourself so that everyone can get along and have a good time.
- OUTPOST is also a chance to check out what software and hardware other people are using to make their stuff, so feel free to get chatting and find out what everyone is up to.
