Tate Britain on January 8th, 2010 as part of the “Late at the Tate” program.
Quiet Voices is curated by the video artist

Quiet Voices deals with the concept of “quiet”,

The exhibition will try and observe its various aspects via the video art works.
Ray-V’s participation is supported by:
The Israeli Ministry of foreign affairs / The Embassy of Israel in London.
Quiet Voices is the artist’s first exhibition.
About the Video “3 steps”
The piece displays the quiet undertones of Tel Aviv life, and points out the various textures which define it: Alienation, quiet, restlessness, loneliness, movement, anxieties, human landscape vs. urban nature.
3 Steps follows the elements which fill the urban space.
The tree-lined boulevards. The people constantly roaming the streets, destinations unknown. Trees fighting for space against the backdrop of constant construction.
The passive fight of nature against the city’s constant tendency to expand and choke the space.
The artist combines digitally-processed still street scenes – and together displays the quiet atmosphere alongside the urban intensity.
Ray-V – Revital Elkayam, is a graduate of Camera Obscura Film school;
An active video- and Live video-artist for the past 9 years, in Israel and abroad.
Ray-V created live video installations and preformed live with her video content in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Bulgaria, The Czech Republic and more.
Ray-V is a sought-after participant at live video at music performances and in Art festivals worldwide.
2008: DJ Magazine’s top VJ list (15th)
2007: DJ Magazine’s top VJ list (11th)
Ray-V cooperated with various video artists as part of the British collective “Inside-Us-All”,
which won 1st place at DJ Magazine’s top VJ list for the past 2 years.
Ray-V’s style is characterized by urban imagery and carefully-chosen, colourful palettes.
Ray-V’s technique combines video and still photography with motion graphic animation.

2009 New Year SnowFlake 0.0.2 in Tel Aviv
2009 srarted with a lot of fun at Asaph [Tailor.vj] and Keren’s place, together with Noam and yours truly,
Drinking wine and munching goodies at our weekly “Wacom Forum” experiment where we draw and sketch with our wacoms [pen tablets] live to music – with Asaph’s new application Snowflake – an application he writes in processing and Java for this very purpose, and still is in the make, tailored to our wishes and needs.
in the meantime, we use also other open source other apps , hooking few laptops via the v4 video mixer and net, enjoying the ability to draw live together on the same output – projected on the wall live to music.
Noam took the lead “sketcher” role, while Asaph and i add the 2nd layers of colors, and “beat feel” textures, than erasing and making new room for a fresh sketch.
part of the fun is the ability to render the sketches to a mov video file pretty fast, while keeping its wight very light.
i hope to be able to upload soon some pictures we took and maybe also video animation bits we rendered.
- you are mostly welcome to try and use Snowflake with your Wacom:

so far – for pc users only.
anyone who’s interested in adding ideas or cooperate with us – are welcome to get in touch
Happy new 2009
here’s a sample video link
