What a fantastic night guys, the mix of live art, visuals, soundscapes, beats and general sonic happenings worked a treat.

Thanks to everyone who took part in whatever capacity that was, it made the night a real success. We have lots of photos due to hit the net real soon so keep an eye out for them.

The artwork from the night will be on display at Staffordshire University on the 21st March as part of the Talking shop celebration, you are all invited to come along and celebrate the range of creative learning projects that are currently happening.

Keep an eye out for another Antsartjam in the future!

practice as an experimental software artist and in 2009 formed the

Iona Makiola

I view my role as an artist as one of instigator and facilitator; providing a platform for participants to not only actively engage in but create works themselves.

Martyn Yates

Fine Artist. In my work I use video, light and sound to create an abstract representation the containment of emotion within the self. Investigating the moods and feelings generally kept from others.

We also have special audio performances from synth man Philsy (he travels to Europe to have extra digits surgically added, he’s now on 18!), also Pete C who has a dark side to his audio set and of course we will focus on an improvised audio/visual installation throughout the evening.

Oh and it’s FREE
