// THE CREATORS PROJECT: LONDON //

                         // THE CREATORS PROJECT: LONDON //


This past Saturday in London was Vice Mag and Intel's travelling exhibit The Creators Project. The Creators Project was opened to the public during the day at Victoria House, and at night the place turned into an exclusive soiree de la nuit for London's scenesters and creative fledglings. Installations such as Radical Friend's The Digital Flesh, United Visual Artists' Triptych and Hereafter, and Karl Sader's Forest (aka Corridor) were some of my favorite works of the whole event. I actually got a chance to participate with the The Digital Flesh piece by allowing my face to be scanned into the huge database of other scanned faces the installation will be collecting throughout the CP tour. In September, the Digital Flesh Temple will debut at a ceremony in Beijing to "summon the Holographic Birth of the evolved organism," according to The Creators Project guide.  COOL RIGHT ?!

There were also some photos on display from Yeah Yeah Yeah's guitarist Nick Zinner and a screening of Spike Jonze's film I'm Here. One of my highlights was getting to meet London-based Fashion Designer Cassette Playa, but sadly I missed her presentation which was titled AW1011 Neuromance Augmented Reality Presentation. Below are some photos of Mos Architects' Rainbow Vomit, which allows users to create shapes or "heaps" in 3-D with custom projection mapping, and Mark Essen's video games that were placed throughout the venue and totally brought me back to my Nintendo-playing days.

Later in the evening, the Victoria House seemed to turn into party central. The performances to note  during the party were DJ sets by Peaches (mind you she did it while having a broken leg in a cast!), Mumdance, Filthy Dukes, and live sets by London's lo-fi quartet YUCK, Mark Ronson & The Business Intl, and Bloc Party Frontman gone solo - Kele (love his new single btw!)


All in all it was a pretty interesting experience. It's nice to know that there are people who are figuring out ways to experience art and technology beyond the limits of a laptop computer. Big props to all of those who are marching to the sound of their own digital beat!

JULY 15 // FACTORY NIGHT @ BLACKOUT BAR // NYC




Next week a new party I am starting with my friends SECRET PUBLIC will be having a soft launch on July 15 at Blackout Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It's called "FACTORY NIGHT"- featuring music from The Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, The Cure, and other New Wave, Post Punk, New Romantic, + Goth Pop bands.

The night will feature DJ/Artist Lacee Swan and Host/Photographer Chris Reed. We have Marcus Harris all the way from London DJing the night as well. If I weren't out of the town next week I would be djing at this shin dig too!

There is no cover and of course, it's 21+.

If you've never been to Blackout Bar before, which is owned by the same people that run NY boutique chain OAK, it is an amazing bar inside. It's got the darkness and mystery of a dive bar without the sketchyness. If you're into a Gothic, Depression-era, Art Deco aesthetic - then Blackout is your bar du jour.

Here is a little video I made for the night as well. Feel free to e-mail it to your friends, post it up on your TUMBLR, make it your new FB status, etc.




Exes + Ohs,

Susie G

// TOURIST MAGAZINE //

If Vice Magazine were a dude,
Tourist Magazine would be his cool, trendy lady friend who would even look classy drinking a 2 litre bottle of Strongbow straight up.

Hailing from the UK, this magazine comes only in the online format, but of course that may change any day now.







The above images are from the magazine's 4th issue which is now available.

// DANCE PARTY MASSACRE - SUMMER '10 LOOK BOOK //

Photo by Josh Falk
My dear friend Alex in Boston is the talented ghost behind T-Shirt label Dance Party Massacre. 

Recently, I got to help cast my other friend Autumn for DPM's Summer '10 Look Book. 

And girlfriend, she is one fierce vampy vixen in it.

Take a look, if you dare:



So what is this collection all about?
"I don't have a huge mission statement for the concepts and themes behind this season, but it was inspired by a more retro era of 50s black and white movies, biker gangs, and the mean streets of the city while still maintaining an influence of horror and fun. There was [a] conscious effort in reflecting that into all designs, photos, color choices, etc." - Alex
