What a wild (and chill!) start to friday with @aiviwave.com and @surasshu.com (joined on stage with @clairekwong.bsky.social on viz) aivisura.bandcamp.com/music (special thanks to @emfedex.bsky.social for arranging) #Chiptune #MAGFest #Chipspace #VGM

<whimsical reminiscing soundtrack plays> In memorandum of my 4 beautiful years curaring @nyugamecenter.bsky.social's annual No Quarter exhibition I've pulled together an archive of each of the 4 cohorts & the 16 weird & wonderful works they brought into the world www.goodafternoon.uk/four-quarters

I'm still unwinding from MAGFest. It was my absolute pleasure to do visuals for Rebecca Sugar and friends, including surprise guest Estelle! I VJed for ESTELLE! @aivisura.com's Secret Show at Chipspace felt really intimate and contemplative. Except for the part where we all screamed "FUCK ICE"!

I'm so excited to be at MAGFest this week! First, I'm performing visuals with Rebecca Sugar's Lonely Magic Tour, Thursday 8:10pm on Mainstage! Then, I'll do visuals for @aivisura.com, Friday 12:00pm at Chipspace! Finally, you can play Between all day and all night at @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social!

I was honored to be commissioned by @cycling74.bsky.social to create a Max/MSP patch that uses the meter~ object to visualize sound in a unique way. Presenting Pixel Meter! Here's the link to the downloadable patch, with two other amazing interpretations of meter~! cycling74.com/articles/met...

The Hand Eye Society Ball in Toronto last month was so much fun. I loved seeing everyone dress up and play Between. To quote @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social - absolute chaos and joy! More photos coming soon.

Thank you all for coming to my show with Business Pastel @wendyleftmealone.bsky.social. I collaborated with Wendy more than I've ever done before, and I livecoded with Hydra for the first time. Can't wait to collab again in 7 years (or sooner)! 📹 @flowmein.bsky.social

Trying something new with @wendyleftmealone.bsky.social for @wonderville.nyc tonight!

I'm doing visuals at the @nyugamecenter.bsky.social party at @wonderville.nyc! I'm excited to collab with @wendyleftmealone.bsky.social 7 years after we first worked together. We've both evolved as artists so much, and we're making a unified audiovisual experience together. I will try something new!

I have several events to announce for the fall! First up - I'm going to the Super FESTival by @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social in Toronto, Canada! Between will be exhibited at the Spooky Soiree, which will feature experimental games, alt-controllers, and a full immersive ghost-hunting quest.

I'm giving a short talk about my game practice at the WikiGameJam opening at Hex House tonight! My games aren't directly linked to Wikipedia, but I've fallen down many Wikipedia rabbit holes. I'm excited to speak among and meet other amazing game devs. Graphic by @identikitten.bsky.social

Thank you @wonderville.nyc Alt.Ctrl Festival! Between felt right at home among the arcade cabinets.

I will show Between at the first ever Alt Ctrl Festival at @wonderville.nyc on August 24! I’m looking forward to playing all these games!

I’m here at MAGWest @magwestofficial.bsky.social! I’m thrilled to do visuals for @sammusmusic.net and @aivisura.bsky.social tonight. I admire these musicians so much and it’s a pleasure to do something special for each of them. I’m on back to back 6:50pm to 8:50pm PT! Streaming twitch.tv/magfest!

Accessibility is so important for alt ctrl games! I designed my games to be playable by as many bodies as possible. At Playtime, I was so happy to see them played by people of every age and size, as well as people in wheelchairs and with vision impairments.

I'm going to be a judge this year! I'm excited to see the contestants!

Interpose at Playtime in Bruges! I loved seeing people careen around the room with their hands bound together. New poster by @kjmartinet.bsky.social. Play it at home with a dance partner at interpose.space.

The ballet of Chromapose 💃🏻

Chromapose is 7 years old! I’m glad it can still move people. Here are my favorite shots from my solo exhibition at Playtime in Bruges. New poster design by @kjmartinet.bsky.social ! Play it at home with your friends at chromapose.me.

Climbed up onto the catwalk to capture my exhibition from above.

The Ultimate Indie Mash call is open AND it has a new amazing visual identity made by Victor Arce @lxtxcx.bsky.social 💗💾💿💽🖲️

Thank you so much to the Playtime Festival in Bruges for hosting my first solo exhibition! It was an absolute dream to see everyone playing Between, Light Touches Skin, Interpose, and Chromapose. I’ll post more photos and videos in the coming days!

Welcome to the 🤜 Claire Kwong Arena 🤛 I'm showing Between, Light Touches Skin, Chromapose, and Interpose all in the same room at the Playtime Festival in Bruges, Belgium! It will be my first solo exhibition. It’s going to be complete chaos and I can’t wait.

I love this picture from my artist talk at PlayBern, where I made people play Interpose. I swear they got on the floor on their own!

Happy new year! This is @shimmerglitch.bsky.social and James turning Between into a combat sport at Next Level Festival. “Oh you’re helping me!” “Nooooo”

I had so much fun doing visuals at the Overkill Festival @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social for Assyouti in a collaborative set with Julian van Aalderen of the C-men. It was my first VJ collaboration ever and it was a great experience! We remixed each others videos in MaxMSP (me) and Amiga (him).

I came to the Overkill Festival because I won the Ultimate IndieMash contest held by @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social back in May. I finally got my beautiful trophy in person last month! I brought it back home to New York and it’s sitting on my plant cabinet now 🦄 📷 @tessawiegerinck.bsky.social

Here are professional photos of my workshop at the Overkill Festival @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social taken by @tessawiegerinck.bsky.social! More chaos of everyone playing Chromapose and Interpose at once…

I led a workshop called Prototyping with Touch and Intimacy at the Overkill Festival @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social. I talked through the process of prototyping my games, and invited the audience to play, critique, and iterate on other movement games.

I'm back in NYC and finally sorting through all the photos from my travels. I'll be posting highlights in reverse order, from the Overkill all the way back to A MAZE Sheffield. I miss touring and hope I can do more in 2025! First up is Between at the Overkill Festival last month in Enschede, NL!
