YouBlewItUp presents ‘Music From a Night Of Vice’ a series of 4 Singles recorded with some incredible musicians, inspired by ‘Night Of Vice’, a project conceived in Vice City, the virtual city of the 2002 Grand Theft Auto video game set in a fictional 1980’s Miami; where we take our experience of playing this game as a portal into 1980’s culture, channeling it into a musical and visual experience of its own that explores our memory and mythologizing of that decade. Take A Listen.

All Singles are available to buy as CD’s, email us at youblewitup@gmail.com for more information.

You Blew It Up presents Night Of Vice an exhibition by Peter Humphrey and Eliot Jones. 

Night Of Vice is the story of a night in Vice City, the virtual city of the 2002 Grand Theft Auto video game set in a fictional 1980’s Miami. 

Taking our experience of playing this game as a portal into 1980’s culture, channeling it into a musical and visual experience of its own that explores our memory and mythologizing of that decade. 

In ‘Night of Vice’ the urban landscape of ‘GTA: Vice City’ is treated as a real location for the shooting of a music video, a night of cruising the streets in a convertible under the neon glow of Ocean Drive as it radiates from our TV screens.

The night will feature an experimental film screening with a live musical performance. Accompanied by an installation comprised of lightbox art works, sound and sculpture.

3rd August, for one night only

Nothing that you haven’t seen before.

Founding members of the You Blew It Up! collective, Peter Humphrey (music producer) and Eliot Jones (artist), have created a provocative and mind-bending new collaboration, altOrgy0.1. A combination of sound, video art and ‘product placement’ sculpture, You Blew It Up! invites you to join them as a voyeur as they magnify and amplify pop culture values. 

Inspired by Second Life, ‘the largest ever 3D virtual world created entirely by its users’, the duo have taken the in-game phenomena of the ‘alt orgy’ as a metaphor and a model for distilling everyday media images into their most condensed form. The effect is an overwhelming orgy of experience that is hard to look at but equally hard to look away from.

altOrgy0.1 delves into some of the paradoxes of contemporary culture; a culture that draws power from forbidden experiences whilst declaring nothing forbidden, that uses the most advanced technology to exploit our most primitive desires and that plays the message of liberation on endless repeat.
