Chaise is a CD/DVD magazine containing over 5 hours of works by emerging artists: music, films, animation, stickers and posters as PDF on the DVD-rom, interactive artwork, etc.

Best thing is that the magazine is distributed for free, either at venues or to anyone who sends a self-addressed stamped envelope.

If you’re lucky enough to be in the New York area on May 6, don’t miss their Release Party for some free issues of Chaise and loads of performances.

Highlights on their website include Luke Fischbeck‘s The Sympathizer, an application for OS X that sings along as you work by converting data from the latency in your computer’s graphics redraw into simple rhythmic and melodic patterns; Camp Lakachian, an animation by Bennett Baker Barbakow and Chris Smith (pictured here); Joe Winter‘s Myano world tour, a performance in which a young man hauls his technologically enhanced piano across the urban landscape in search of electrical outlets that will allow him to plug in and perform; and many many more.
