I am currently working on an exciting event /party with W2 that is part of the 2010 Vancouver Cultural Olympia’s CODE (Cultural Olympia’s Digital Edition) event, Bright Light 2010 as well as the after party for Vancouver Art Walk 2010. There will be various performances and DJs. I will be VJing through out the night with Patricia Kim, who’s also a filmmaker, choreographer and VJ. We will be doing some live streaming as well as real-time generative visuals via frequency and movements. Additionally, I might bring in a set of improvised contemporary fusion of chinese folk dance, live violin improvisation and real-time calligraphic-like visual media.
Time: Saturday, Feb. 13th, 2010, 9:00 pm ~2:00 am
Location: W2 Culture + Media House
112 W. Hasting St. Vancouver, BC

DJ Mazeguider (aka Jeet K)
When not speaking to the Senate and helping to put a stop to absurd legislation, Jeet K can be found behind the decks rockin the electro, techno and glitch hop. Jeet K has been involved in Vancity's underground music scene as both producer and MC since the 90s and a dj for the past six years.

"The Tiger is one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet, and is feared and revered in equal measure. It features in many Asian cultures as a manifestation of courage, power, passion and royalty. The Tiger symbolizes the female Yin energy as opposed to the Yang male energy of the dragon. Ancient Chinese believe that the markings on the forehead of tigers resemble the Chinese character for "Wang", or King. In Imperial China, where the dragon is the insignia of the emperors, the tiger is the military emblem of the highest supreme commanders of the army symbolizing fearlessness and victory. The Tiger also represents earth, while the dragon represents Heaven. The powerful and stealth prowess of the Tiger inspire the martial art movements of many Kung-Fu masters."
Those who are skilled in combat
do not become angered.
Those who are skilled at winning
do not become afraid.
Thus, the wise win before they fight
while the ignorant fight to win.
