Hosting Open Jams Every Sunday
SHARE Audio Jam: Prepared and spontaneous music from eight plus simultaneous performers. This is the time and place to perform a piece of music you've written and hear it on a large sound system, improvise spontaneously with other participants, get feedback on your latest project or try out that new max patch/software setup. Bring your noise maker of choice and an XLR, quarter-inch or RCA cable to join.
SHARE Video Jam: multi-user live video synthesis. Generating an immersive visual environment, in the SHARE tradition, in which multiple participants are able to jointly compose the video output. Try out and learn about new VJ wetware. As with the audio, walk-in sets are encouraged. Bring your clips or camera or laptop/amiga and VGA, S-Video, or RCA cables to join.
Share.mobile events happen in the context of teaming up with other venues and festivals to create a forum for large scale audio/visual jams.
With these forums we seek to encourage artistic expression and promote cooperation within communities. Modern Society often pits us against each other, stifling expression and the realisation of a healthy, sustainable existence. If people can express themselves loud and clear, 'Share' believes, a workable concensus is attainable. By going mobile we bring an example of this philosophy, played out to a new audience and that audience is participatory.

SHARE is a community for portable performers, founded in 2001 by Barry Manalog, geoffGDAM and Newclueless, that provides an open forum, in real life, for data exchange and media performance. Every week we host a free multimedia jam open to all participants and observers. Walk-ins welcome.
We are the place to: preview that video project you're working on, learn about new software developments, sing a new pop song you've written, join an open jam of digital artists, form an impromptu collaboration, hear how your new songs sound on a big system, meet co-conspirators for art projects, spin some mp3s, look for new Max patches and Buzz machines, or relax and have a sunday drink with interesting people.
