Antti Silvast

 Antti Silvast (1978) joined the audiovisual underground movement demoscene 
in 1996. Since then he has worked as a coder/musician/visualist for 
several different platforms including PC, Amiga, Spectravideo MSX and 
Gamepark 32. In 2002 Antti started to do VJ performances and decided he 
would do his programming in Linux. The agenda behind VJ'ing was that all 
of the visual artefacts should be synced to the venue's music and that the 
software should be adjustable real time. Audio sampling, Fourier analysis 
and MIDI controllers became thus utilized, connected through a 
self-programmed VJ platform. More info can be found at his VJ group's 
homepage http://www.anioni.com/pseudotoad/. (Pseudotoad is a part of 
larger VJ collective Amfibio, see http://www.amfibio.org)

In his civil life Antti is a student of sociology, who likes to reflect on 
the relationship of man and technology whenever he can. He is currently 
working in Helsinki University of Technology and Helsinki University of Arts 
and Design.
