This is something we've been trying to organise since 1999, we almost nailed it in 2003, but only now are the technology and the ideology in place to actually pull it off . . . previously we were held back by bandwidth, modem speed, feet of clay, etc . . .
Essentially, Culture Crunch Online is a little downloadable virtual television set, which sits on your desktop and plays a random stream of found sound, snippets of video, endlessly evolving, but never repeating . . .we were inspired by the recurring sci-fi motif of alien beings learning about earth by watching our TV broadcasts, usually on many screens at once, or as a cumulative montage (like David Bowie's character in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth', or the aliens in 'Explorers')
so . . . what you are watching is the world's first live generative streaming TV channel . . . whereas our previous attempts at getting this beast online foundered on the rocks of 'not enough money' this time everything is in place . . . the aim is to give you the user the definitive monged-out post-everything tv channel experience . . . broadcasting from a disturbed near-future a mixture of infotainment, blipverts, beauty and bullshit . . . all juxtaposed accidental comedy, pathos and new meaning . . .

Culture Crunch version 1
A global zeitgeist engine, a crystal ball with a cassandra complex, munching content from multiple channels and pooting out a sickly broth of 'where we're at'. The bastard son of the the online jungulator project - inspired by the science fiction motif of extra-terrestrial, and super-intelligent beings 'understanding' humanity through simultaneous viewing of multiple telematic transmissions.

Culture Crunch version 2
the first Culture Crunch worked by mashing four randomly chosen bits of footage together like a big omelette, whereas this one splits the screen into four, and randomly cycles through a folder containing around six thousand snippets of video...the way we hope to go with this as the site gets fully operational is to throw it open to the public, where anyone if so inclined can upload a bit of sound or video, which is then added to the ongoing generative mix...kind of like a global zeitgeist jukebox, or if you're feeling pretentious, a "juxtaposition engine"....as processing power increases, we should be able to do a google earth-type zoom in and out (from just one screen out to say, twenty-five)...in the meantime, watch this space, and click below to watch the basic four screen generative clip

Monkey Shines
Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, the theory goes, and they will eventually produce prose to rival the likes of Shakespeare. Feed a self-player enough monkey footage and sometimes it throws up sad/funny/poignant reflections of mans' relationship with his distant cousins.

As well as creating a rich vein of visuals that are integral to their own performances, IATMJ are also first choice VJs for other artists and clubs. IATMJ use a mixture of innovative live visuals (wormcam), bespoke self generative visual programs and their own VJ software, ‘Derek And Norma Olden’. IATMJ have VJ’d at The Big Chill Festival (2002-05), Port Elliot Literature Festival as well as sundry nightclub/gallery events around Europe, and are currently providing visuals for international DJ Nick Warren.
I Am The Mighty Jungulator provide a wide range of video solutions, both off-the-peg and bespoke, for any size of venue or type of client, no job too big or small. We build our footage from the ground up, often spending intensive periods of time scanning in or digitising grubby analogue source material, then running it through one of our purpose-built jungulator engines; its very much like working a digital loom, weaving part-random, part-authored video into strange new patterns, which we can then output by the yard...

Port Elliot Literary Festival 2005
IATMJ projected the mighty worm cam (see article), onto the Earl of St germans stately home in Saltash, Cornwall, during the 2005 Port Elliot Literary Festival.
A curved tower on the left of the house proved a splendid canvas for retinal stimulation provided by the most talented local gastropods combined with the estate's fauna and flora. The activitiy was so popular with festival-goers that IATMJ simply kept things running. While the rest of the festival took cover from the July tempest, IATMJ's worm cam kept morale up through the night.
Older members of the local aristocracy were not so impressed, asking instead for a good John Wayne film.

Spread The Love Single and Video
I Am The Mighty Jungulator came close to creating a hot'n'hazy nu-folk masterpiece here, which blundered about all through summer 2004 like a happily wounded rhinocerous, leaving peoples mouths hanging open in the 'what was that?, who were they?' position for some while afterwards...a position IATMJ manifestly failed to capitalise on.

Jungulator at Machinista 2004

Norwegian royalty throws snow ball at Jungulator
I Am The Mighty Jungulator came to Arc Art Festival with the task of producing the brain for artist Jony Easterby's audio-visual sculpture "Fluxgate II". Fluxgate was originally an audio installation, with sounds provided by Biosphere. IATMJ was bought in to provide the programming muscle for the video manipulation used in fluxgate II.
Installed in the town square and opened by the Prince of Norway (throwing a snow ball that was presented to him on a gold braided cushion). the sculpture comes alive after hit by a snow ball. displaying video and sound when hit on a target.
