Share Festival: Two Architectures

by Emanuel

This was the last talk of this years share festival: Bruce Sterling and Marcos Novak talking about the internet and new forms of visualisation – two really really interesting characters. While Bruce Sterling couldn’t wait to finish the festival and move on to the wine, Marcos Novak couldn’t stop to explain the world – really interesting, very amusing: (english 1:15h , 352.9Mb)

AV performances Part I @ Mapping Festival 2008

by fomoke

The first weekend of the Mapping Festival in Geneva past by too fast… and i tried to see and document every event… but to be honest it was not possible! What i saw… or let’s say experianced was great and all the different kinds of performances gave a good overview of how and in which context av technics might be used.
This ranges from the classical VJ set going along with a DJ playing or live audio visual sets in a night club to more experimental audio visual performances and installations shown in a museum of contemporary art.
The Festival still goes on till Sunday! So get your things packed and come!

And have a look at those videos…. even if the quality is not the best! i am gonna work on that… when i am back home, I promise.

AntiVJ @ Mapping Festival 2008

by fomoke

AntiVJ is a VJ Label founded by four VJs francophone – VJ Crustea, VJ Emovie, VJ Aalto and VJ Legoman. Their aim is to leave the traditional work area of a VJ … the lonley screen somewhere in a club…
Well, what they do so far is to create new surfaces for their VJ Sets – that range from unconventional screens in night clubs to installations in public spaces (a market place or a garage) and lightsculptures – as well as developing their own VJ Tools to play on these 3d shapes.

I saw them playing visually with their own installation objects – a bunch of white cubes in a darkend room. I gotta say… it was awesome!You even got the feeling those objects were moving or shivering a bit! Enjoy the video!

mapping festival in geneva: 10.04.08 – 20.04.08

by fomoke

yesterday _ the 10th of april 2008 _ the mapping festival _ a festival for and about visual art _ started with various live acts at the centre d’art contemporain of geneva. due to an unexpacted long trip from vienna to geneva, i only saw the last two vj performances at the opening party. but it was worth to go there!

vj aalto from paris showed his fresh and clear animations that dance happily to the rythm of the music.
later on vj ratsi / emovie experimented with urban photos by defragmenting them in different manners. Have a look at the short summery video to catch the nice atmosphere of this party!
