...rather than seeking these places for inspiration, you, however, are here. Trolling through data, searching for the finest in digital media tools, you have found them. YOW* is a unique productive entity for creating software and services for digital artists.
This website reflects that production, offering software, ideas, media, and communication for those interested in original manipulations of audio and video content.
PRODUCTS
Computers have been embraced by artists of every stripe, if not just because so many things can be done with them. With digital art, the interaction with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor has reduced the physical part of the creative process to a set of fine motor skills. Though homogenizing to some, it can be simply appreciated as "shared." YOW* works with this shared experience and develops on the basis of taking some loose plans, then using immediate discovery, action, and reaction to realize them. Enjoy the fruits of this labor in the "products" section...
NEWS
The news section has up-to-date news, press releases, performances, installations, public sightings and fanciful ideas born from the activities at YOW*.
A/V - audio and video media
YOW* is, after all, about creating art. Listen and look at some sounds and visions created with YOW* products of today and yesterday.
Finally, the calendar has listings of shows and installations that could be or will be wonderful, mostly located in the Oakland/San Francisco, CA Bay Area. If you have an event to add, wherever it might be, contact us, and maybe it will show up...and one more thing: it's pronounced "yowstar":)
