Just found out that at the two closing events of the soundframe festival in Vienna. [15th and 16th of april 2010 @ Ottakringer Brauerei]
there will be an installation of AntiVJ.I am pretty curious what to see, if and how they can change the amtmosphere at the Brauerei! Come and check it out with me!
Here some Videos of their previous works, just to get an idea what AntiVJ does:
Well, unfortunately i never attended Pixelache in Helsinki, Finnland, but it supposed to be quite an interesting festival addressing the classical contemporary topics like capitalism, sustainable energy and alternative systems. But don´t wanna talk a lot about a festival i haven´t been…. better check out their massive videocollection on vimeo or their flickr collection to get a review of what we have missed. or listen to Juha Huuskonen the programme director of pixelache, whom we know from transmediale 2009, when he was part of the jury.
And if you wanna attend in next years festival > don´t forget to apply to their call for proposals. deadline 15.4.2010
TrikeDoubleThree is a piece of performative dance in conjunction with audio visual elements by Christine Gaigg (2nd nature) and Bernhard Lang. The four dancers on stage, perform on sound panels by being video taped, the sound and video is sampled with the “visual loop generator” and reprojected on the screens in the middle of the stage (stage design: Philipp Harnoncourt). As a viewer you might loose the oversight of what is created by whom, is the machine following the human dancers or vice versa?
But somehow, it’s all about loops. We had the chance to talk to Christine Gaigg and Bernhard Lang, the creators of this piece where dance meets media art.
TrikeDoubleThree was shown at TQW, November 2009, Wien Modern Festival.

Charlemagne Palestine !! an extraordinary person – an experience you´ll never forget ! Not only his performance at the Französischer Dom is remarkable – we managed to get an interview before his gig. he is an epiphany himself ! of course we can´t transport the full experience of an organ which is resonating with the audience and the dom ! but check the video to get at least a taste….
ReConstitution by Sosolimited (Justin Manor / Eric Gunther)
Sosolimited having a live performance at transmediale.10 called “The LongConversation”. Eric Gunther, Justin Manor and John Rothenberg are visualizing the conference talk in real time for about 12 hours. We were getting them for a short talk about their experiences with their artwork ReConstitution and their performance today.
ReConstitution was a live remix of the 2008 US Presidential debates performed by Sosolimited in Boston, New York, and Washington DC. This movie shows highlights from the performances and gives an overview of selected transformations.
