Today brings the solstice and with it Adonai with silvery feet!
upon burning red frost upon frozen white heat!

Rise! Move! Appear!



May your mind span from world to world in holy ecstasy!
May your body drink deeply of the passion of life!
Go forward in your PLEASURE
- Slay, Steal, Perverse and invoke

ANNO DOMINO - After Chance
' A well attended Midnight Mass here at the SWG3 Halls. Mr Bloom had some intriguing new shapes to explore, well complimented by the harmnics (provided by thre pleasing Mount Vernon Arts Lab) Some new forms were noted emerging from the Saint Rollox All Girls Brownies Brigade and the late evening welcomed some very important guests from the other place.. '
Were hoping that the playback will be well attended by all.
JAYGO BLOOM Has been working on his latest project proposed for the Studio warehouse GallerySWG3
It is intended that the show will become a playback of midnight hocus, expounding the parameters of folklore, mathematics, high modernism and populist thought.
Expect the unusual, including a live performance involving a group of brownies, a ball of string and a strobelight entitled - 'The new mobility'!

JAYGO BLOOM Has been commissioned to build an Online Games Consultation Tool as part of a major redevelopment project in Stirlingshire, Scotland.
The project is a collaboration between business partners RAPLOCH URC and the Visual Arts officer Cristina Armstrong of UZ EVENTS and informed within a larger landscape framework ensuring the projects success and sustainability by Architects and Consultants CRISTINA GONZALEZ LONGO and Keith Frazer
We managed to ask JAYGO BLOOM a little about this exciting project..
IMMEDIATE DEVELOPMENTS - After a series of new media based workshops with the local youths in their new community centre, the gameplan is now taking form.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES - I hope the game will encourage and inform the direction of ideas generated through play by the local community.
FUTURE - The game will be the first stage towards a very well integrated networked public art work which will be housed within the local landscape.

JAYGO BLOOM Has been commissioned to create yet another inspiring spin on the way the internet can help bring diverse and unusual elements together, this time in the for of the project THE WORLD WIDE WEGG
The project funded by SCOTTISH SCREEN and NEW MEDIA SCOTLAND will attempt to draw comparrisons upon natural interactions with that of new media networks by connecting Chickens from different parts of the globes with toasters from other parts of the globe. The event will present itself as a one day event in a local gallery / cafe and offer the chance to translate the laying of an egg into the poping up of a slice of toast in another country.
With this project jaygo Bloom is interested in utilising sophisticated networking devices to create a seemingly simple action, a labourous way of creating somthing simple as in the works of ........ the project is a development from past Futuresonic commission and will successfully utilise locative technology, translating an analogue action into a digital and back int analogue again - similar to the once sci fi notions of mike TV in willy wonkas chocolate factory - all this is possible now - yet the uncertain nature of the work being at the perils of an unegglaying eg layer is also a concern - not evidently to the Artist Jaygo Bloom - who beleives the project will be a success egg or not!
THE WORLD WIDE WEGG will be live during GLASGOW INTERNATIONAL in April 2008.
NEW FUTURE NOW will be overseeing the project and collaborating closely with cheeseboard architect and pile artist IAN CAMPBELLSTEIN who will be assisting in the development and progress of chicken - brain - technology and the successfull implantation of triggers sensors and diodes to get this thing up and running, incidently his hometown Montreal may just be one of the international nodes as well....
