• About Exibitions:

  NG# has been presented in a “preview” session during the killercode/pixsel seminar held in De Waag / Amsterdam on the 11th of November 2003. “NG#1” is the first implementation of the NG# prototype and it has been applied for the installation “UNLIKELY CANVASES II” fruit of the collective effort of TeZ, the photographer Amy Jackson and the musician Jason Stelluto, that was presented in the USA (Bowling Green / Washington DC November-December 2003). “NG#2” was first shown as visual support of a multimedia performance by M.S.B. at the Musica Ex Machina festival on December 7th 2003 in Bilbao, Spain.
