The bITjAM is a response to a real need in the creative community for a space in which to explore digital arts, creative ideas, collaborations and soundscapes.
Carl Plant and Ben McManus are the main animators of the bitjam, playing, organising, publicising, delivering workshops and digitally animating spaces. They are aware that the main aim of biTjAM is about collaborating and sharing ideas, communication through sound and value of experimentation.
Since its inception, biTjAM have been involved in collaborations with visual artists from all over the midlands. Musicians and sound artists from Stoke to Stockholm have travelled to be a part of the experience and have intern continued some of these creative collaborations.

Collaborations and installations
We’re looking for people, organisations and/or universities to collaborate with us in developing an interactive audio/video installation to be used in a live performance space.
The plan is to hopefully incorporate the live performance typically experienced in the bITjAM as well as the visual performances with an interactive system, for example using jitter/max/msp to allow movement to augment the performance, or to allow movement (from dance) to augment the performance.
We are currently seeking out a studio space to try out these ideas before taking the project into a live performance space. During this early stage we are seeking funding streams too.
peace….
Carl
