Project Love was an outlaw visuals collective that became famous for its pioneering video projection work during the rave scene of the early 1990's.
Project Love was one of the first rave/club visuals acts. Utilizing newly acquired portable LCD projectors it showed the way in video mixing of pre-compiled U-Matic quality tapes. The crowds loved it! The epic shows synchronised with the energy of the techno music of that era and was created before the digital video revolution. Initially all materials were generated in the Project Love studio by a group of video artists. However audiences preferred the 'scratched' segments of BBC Nature and virtual reality video graphics being aired on TV at that time or researched from film archives.
In part it was a sister act for the Acid / Country group the Alabama 3 (A3 - US). It appeared at many of their early gigs. Project Love also performed live video visuals at the infamous Castle Morton Rave, Glastonbury, SOMA and Spiral Tribe trance parties.
