Arkaos Content Packs: ‘Psyberpixie by Psyberpixie’ & ‘Psyberpixie 2’

Psyberpixie Arkaos Content Packs reviewed in The Technofile by MC Rebbe the Rapping RabbiIf you’re a VJ, looking for ready made material, then these two  downloadable ‘content packs’ might be just the thang. In contrast to some of  Arkaos’ content packs, which contain very raw footage, South Florida based VJ, Psyberpixie’s packs are the finished article, consisting of ready mixed, multi layered, effected clips.

The first of the two, ‘Psyberpixie by Psyberpixie’, open with proof that Psyberpixie gives good head…as brightly posterised Wharholesque heads on a trio of TV screens jump back and forth in the opposite direction to the stone carved Javanese temple heads above them…a theme that is reprised in the following clip, albeit with a different colour scheme.

Next is a clip of  a street in a China town, with added shake…at least I think it’s added shake…or perhaps it was shot in China Town San Francisco… This clip is also reprised, this time in green with added ‘Matrix’ style falling numbers in ‘infra’ red.

Arkaos content pack Psyberpixie by Psyberpixie reviewed in The Technofile by MC rebbe The Rapping Rabbi‘Fire Dancer 1 & 2’ superimpose an Asian dancer against a swirling background of  colour; ‘Jump’ shows a Shaolin monk demonstrating his skills in mid air against another moving backdrop of colour and ‘Red Rock’ returns to the Javanese temple heads…or perhaps it’s the face of the Buddha, once again with a coloured backwash….all very Zen…or Goa Trance…or both…

Moving away from the spiritual undercurrent is ‘Multivideo’ which mixes traffic, roads, tram lines, banks of TVs displaying footage and mechanoids. The rest of the pack is a mixture of cool fractals and montage….apart from the final clip of a Tiger split into four, against a revolving pattern…easy tiger…

Psyberpixie 2 offers a further 19 clips.

MC rebbe The Rapping Rabbi reviews Arkaos content pack Psyberpixie 2, in The Technofile‘Alive’ is videomicroscopy of a mollusk…or possibly an amoeba; ‘Biotech’ transposes test tubes against oil wells (spot the subtext); ‘Bugtrip’ is not visuals for people who are bugged out and trippin’, but a macro sequence of insects; Egyptiantwist is definitely one for the pharaohs; ‘Holodancer’ revisits the Asian dancer from ‘PsyberPixie 1’, contrasting her with a cute chick on a dance floor against a mix of colour; ‘Racecar’ is old school formula one; ‘Raydancer’ is a classical Indian dancer doin’ her thang against rays of multicoloured light and the remaining clips are a variety of montages involving more insects, robots, formula one,  pseudo lunar vehicles, trains, traffic lights and girls.

If you are looking for raw footage/graphics, then obviously these aren’t the content packs for you. If, however, you are looking for cool readymade VJ food, that can be further mixed, scratched, effected and generally funked up, you’ll probably love these two packs, which between them, deliver enough material for quite a few sets.
