So you walk through the front door of the Alibi Room and you notice is that it's been transformed into Brisbane's most rocking art gallery. You could describe the sight before your eyes as a kind of ‘cyber playground', or you could call it a pleasant seizure-inducing body of work incorporating fluro visual remixes, squiggles, genius scribbles and electric vectors.
Some tall, skinny, geeky-classes wearing guy standing by himself starts talking to you. "This is Brisbane artist Mel Baxter going head to head with Melbournian Ben Thompson aka Simian Lines and also including Era Culprits", he says in a monotone voice. "They've been planning this for like, four months."
You get distracted by what sounds like moshi moshi concrete beats bang-banging through the floorboards so you wander downstairs into the Tiki Lounge. Oh look, there's DJs Fashion With a Gun Vs. Ladyboy on the turntables. You're so overwhelmed by the coolness of the entire situation that you head to the toilet and hide in there for ten minutes while you regain your composure.
