Club
Cabool was a St. Louis new media nightclub. It operated
in 1997 and 1998. On top of dealing in alcohol, it was an experiment
in emerging digital information networks. The night club had the
first DSL line in St. Louis and was one of the first St. Louis
public venues to install web cameras.
Virtual Jockeys mixed selected web sites with live and prerecorded
videos, while simultaneously projecting the mix on screens in
Cabool. The jockeys were the authors of the evening’s visual
amalgam as they blended surveillance and spectacle. A scaffold/kiosk
served as a booth / performance stage for these “Digital
City Auteurs".
