Cimatics Masterclass Live A/V: Place to sleep

Cimatics presents
A MASTERCLASS FOR LIVE AUDIOVISUAL ART

Cimatics, Brussels International Platform for Live A/V, presents a Masterclass Live Audiovisual Art, within the framework of the studio-program Experimental Media-art provided by the VAF (the Flemish Audiovisual Fund).
Because the biggest merit of live A/V is its cross-border and cross-disciplinary character the masterclass will challenge its participants to do just that: collaborate.

THIS BLOG WILL BE PRINTED AND PUBLISHED AS A BOOK

The goal of this blog is to generate an open-source effect: opening up the discussions from within the masterclass to the rest of the world. Let this be a call for everyone to participate and join or start a debate.

Eventually, this blog will be printed as a book. An additional DVD with the open-source versions (Creative Commons license) of the participants masterclass-projects will be available afterwards. So if you post something to this blog, you are co-authoring the book.

Place to sleep

Hi all,

I'm still looking for a place to sleep in/near Brussels from monday night - thursday night.
Can someone help me out with a spare bed?
If possible in Brussels?
Or maybe, if others are also still looking, we can rent a place together near the workshop venue?

Regards,

Arnold

Jerry Galle When Jerry Galle started painting, he was influenced by the old black-and-white photography by pioneers such as Fox Talbot and Niepce. The gradual decay of these photographs but also the sensuality belonging to this, resurfaced in the way Galle played with light in his paintings. Contingencies occurring during the reproduction process and susceptibility to the progress of time, made the accurate replication of photographic images impossible. The neutral and machine-like reproduction of images was contaminated with an accidental naturalness that gave a tactile dimension to the image. This recurrence of small defects and spontaneous unevenness is more related to poetic expression than to neutral copying.
Jerry Galle’s computer-generated work precisely pursues this tension between the visual image and its possibly contingent tactile properties. []
